Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →El Segundo pairs a small older residential core with major commercial and aerospace property, so the electrical work ranges from bungalow rewires to three phase tenant improvements. The city runs its own building department.
The town grew around the Standard Oil refinery that opened in 1911, now operated by Chevron, and the residential grid west of Sepulveda still reflects that origin. Small lots carry 1920s through 1950s bungalows and cottages, a good number of duplexes, and a growing share of modern rebuilds. East of Sepulveda the city turns to offices and aerospace campuses. Smoky Hollow, next to downtown, is a district of older industrial buildings being converted to creative and light commercial uses.
Homeowners call about rewires in older cottages, service upgrades for additions and second stories, and EV chargers. Duplex owners ask about separating meters or adding capacity during remodels. In Smoky Hollow and the commercial areas, the work is tenant improvement, three phase service changes and panel work in buildings whose original electrical was laid out for a machine shop rather than offices, studios or a brewery. Some still have fused disconnects and old switchgear that are hard to find parts for.
Prewar cottages west of Sepulveda often still carry original or patched wiring that does not hold up to modern loads or inspections.
How we handle it →Second story additions and full remodels on El Segundo's small lots routinely outgrow the original 100 amp or smaller service.
How we handle it →Owners of older homes here want home charging, and a charger is often what finally prompts the panel or service upgrade.
How we handle it →Electrical work in El Segundo is permitted through City of El Segundo, and the service is energized by Southern California Edison. We handle the permit application, the plan check where one is required, the inspection scheduling and the utility coordination as part of the job.
Permits are issued by the City of El Segundo, with Edison serving both the residential and commercial sides. Residential service changes follow the standard order: permit, Edison disconnect, city inspection, Edison reconnect. Commercial tenant work typically adds plan check before the permit is issued, and a three phase service change needs Edison's review of the new load at the design stage so the utility work does not hold up the opening.
It depends on what is in the walls. If the original wiring is ungrounded, brittle or knob-and-tube, patching only moves the problem around, and insurers and buyers notice. If earlier owners already replaced most of it, targeted repairs and a new panel may be enough. We open a few boxes and test circuits before recommending either.
Most conversions need a new service sized for the new use, new distribution panels, lighting and receptacle layouts that meet current energy and accessibility codes, and sometimes a change from single phase to three phase. Plan check through the city comes first, and Edison should see the load early. Old shop wiring is rarely worth keeping.
Electrical permits in El Segundo are issued by City of El Segundo. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
El Segundo is served by Southern California Edison. 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.
