Norman homes near the University of Oklahoma campus often carry original panels that cannot handle the added draw from modern air conditioning during humid summers. Severe thunderstorms common along I-35 and US-77 routes regularly produce surges that trip or weld breakers in Cleveland County suburbs. Replacement crews see frequent corrosion issues in properties around Lake Thunderbird where moisture from the lake accelerates wear on older Federal Pacific and Zinsco units.
