Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Chatsworth runs from hillside estates down to postwar tracts and light industrial, so the same street can hold a 100 amp house and a 400 amp shop. Knowing which LADBS plan check applies before the walk saves a week.
Chatsworth has roots older than most of the Valley, with a townsite filed in the late 1880s, and it kept a rural, equestrian character long after the tracts arrived. Horse properties with barns and riding trails run toward Stoney Point and the Santa Susana foothills on the west side. The middle of the neighborhood is postwar single family housing, and condos and apartments sit near Devonshire Street and Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Industrial parks near the railroad house manufacturers and distribution businesses.
Horse property owners call about feeders to barns, arena lighting, wash racks and pump equipment far from the house. In the postwar tracts the calls are about Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, pool loads and EV chargers. Commercial owners and tenants call when a new machine needs three phase power or when a building's service no longer matches its use. Chatsworth sits against the hills and has seen its share of brush fires, so exterior equipment and overhead drops near vegetation are worth checking.
Chatsworth horse properties with barns, arenas and pumps often need a larger service and long feeders sized for voltage drop.
How we handle it →Chatsworth's postwar tracts commonly have original Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that insurers ask homeowners to replace.
How we handle it →Chatsworth homes with detached garages and long driveways need EV charger circuits designed around distance from the main panel.
How we handle it →Older Chatsworth ranch houses and barns often carry decades of owner added wiring that needs replacing for safety and permits.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Chatsworth is permitted through LA Dept of Building and Safety, and the service is energized by LADWP. We handle the permit application, the plan check where one is required, the inspection scheduling and the utility coordination as part of the job.
A Chatsworth house is a simple LADBS permit with an LADWP shutoff and reconnect around the inspection. Industrial service upgrades and new three phase service need LADBS electrical plan check and LADWP service planning before equipment is ordered, and large switchgear can take a while to arrive. Telling us early whether the job is residential or commercial sets the right path.
Arena lighting is one of the bigger loads on a horse property, especially with older metal halide fixtures. LED fixtures cut that load sharply, and many owners switch when they add or rebuild an arena. We calculate the whole property, including barn, pumps, house and any EV chargers, then decide whether a feeder from the existing service works or a service upgrade is needed.
Start with what is already there. Many Chatsworth industrial buildings have three phase service at the main switchboard, but an individual unit's panel may not. We review the existing service, the equipment specs and the landlord's requirements, then design either a new panel and feeder from existing capacity or a service upgrade through LADWP. Plan check with LADBS comes before installation.
Electrical permits in Chatsworth are issued by LA Dept of Building and Safety. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
Chatsworth is served by LADWP. 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.
