Wild Horse: what fails while nobody is home

From the middle of Wild Horse to its edge, a building left unwatched through a freeze is one call from an independent restoration contractor. Nearly every home in the 80862 ZIP code area around Wild Horse is heated by propane, on open plains with no gas line.

The housing, by age

Homes across the 80862 ZIP code area, which includes Wild Horse, date to 1971 at the median, with 32.4 percent built after 1989. Across that area, homes are few and far apart, and a house whose tank runs dry in January has no other source of heat and may have no neighbor near enough to notice.

Cold months and wet months

A pipe in Wild Horse faces freezing nights 5 months of the year, down to a normal 15.3-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; July carries 3.15 of the 15.94 inches in a normal year, both figures recorded at WILD HORSE 6N, 5.3 miles away. March nights still hold at a normal 24.5 degrees, so a propane tank here needs to last well past the new year.

The weak points here

  • Propane heat in nearly every home, where a tank that runs dry stops the only heat source
  • Homes far apart on open plains, where a problem may go unnoticed for days
  • Mobile homes, several in the area, with supply lines under the floor

Frequently asked questions

What keeps a home near Wild Horse warm while its owner is away?

Only the propane in its tank. Nearly every home in the area depends on it, so a tank that runs dry in January stops the heat entirely. Automatic delivery, a tank-level alert and a neighbor who checks in are the practical protections.

How can someone learn quickly about trouble at a home near Wild Horse?

With a temperature alarm that sends a message, since homes are far apart and a leak inside is rarely visible from the road. Without one, the first sign of a stopped furnace may be the damage found on the next visit.

When should homes near Wild Horse be ready for freezing weather?

By November. Normal nights fall below freezing from November through March, with January the coldest. Filling the propane tank, checking skirting on mobile homes and disconnecting hoses in the fall prepares a home for the whole season. Asking a neighbor to check in adds a second layer of protection.
