Homes and wiring in Savannah

Historic homes often have wiring from many eras, and the historic district's review board regulates visible exterior changes such as meters and equipment. Outdoor equipment near the marsh and water corrodes faster in salt air.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Savannah has long, humid summers with frequent thunderstorms, and hurricane season runs June through November; Hurricanes Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017 brought outages and flooding to the area. Low-lying streets and marsh-front neighborhoods flood during heavy rain and the highest tides. Salt air corrodes outdoor electrical equipment near the water. Georgia Power serves Savannah and handles meters, service drops and post-storm restoration. Any electrical equipment that has been under water should be inspected before it is energized.
