ZIP 28129 covers Oakboro, the town of Red Cross, and the unincorporated land around them in western Stanly County. About a third of residents live in Oakboro and about one in eight in Red Cross.

Propane is more common than utility gas for heating in 28129, though Piedmont Natural Gas does serve parts of the area: in December 2022, a contractor cut one of its lines near Oakboro and left customers in Oakboro, Norwood and Albemarle without gas.
Older houses
In older houses around Oakboro, kitchens and laundry rooms were often updated in stages. An older range outlet, a dryer vent run through the crawl space or a washer on an old floor all affect a repair. The technician checks the setting as well as the appliance.
Propane and natural gas
Gas ranges and dryers here may run on propane or on Piedmont's natural gas. The technician confirms which before ordering parts. If you smell gas, leave the house, then call Piedmont Natural Gas, your propane supplier or 911 from outside.
Outages from the Rocky River
Union Power serves much of this area. Its January 2024 outage, caused by Rocky River floodwater damaging a transmission structure, cut power to thousands around Oakboro. An unopened refrigerator keeps food safe for about 4 hours, a full freezer about 48.

After a gas outage, air in the line or a weak igniter can keep the oven from lighting. Gas service should be restored and relit by the gas company. If the oven still won't light, the technician tests the igniter and gas valve.
Check the breaker first. If the whole range is dead, the cord, outlet or circuit may be at fault. If only one element is dead, the element, its terminal block or switch is likely. The technician tests them and quotes.
