Electrician in Anaheim, California

Yes. In Anaheim the building inspector checks the panel and wiring first. After that passes, APU sends its own electrical utility inspector and a meter shop inspection covering the service from the power source to the panel. Only after both utility checks pass does APU schedule a crew to energize. Planning for those three inspections is part of how we schedule the job.

Usually not safely. Homes from the 1910s to 1940s often have small fused services, two wire circuits with no ground, and splices hidden in walls and attics. Adding circuits to that stack makes the weak points worse. We open it up, test what is there, and give you a plan that may phase the rewire room by room while keeping the existing plaster and trim intact.

Sometimes. It depends on the load calculation, not the age of the house. A 1980s hillside home with a 200 amp panel, a pool and two AC units may not have room for a 48 amp charger. We run the numbers first. If it fits, the charger goes on the existing service. If not, we size the upgrade and coordinate the service change with APU.

Electrical permits in Anaheim are issued by City of Anaheim. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.

Anaheim is served by Anaheim Public Utilities. On a service upgrade or a meter stack the utility has to disconnect and reconnect the service, and Morff Electric coordinates that scheduling so the outage stays as short as possible.
