What the numbers mean at the panel, for a county inside this metro: 250,359 of the footprint's homes predate 1980, built when panels were smaller and circuits fewer; 144,826 arrived since 2000 with modern service sizes. Hanover County contains its own proportion of both — and a homeowner here can place their street in the ledger by its build decade alone, which is also how the electricians serving the county triage what they are likely to find. Inside Hanover County, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 25 miles north of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
