Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Exposition Park is older residential mixed with institutional and commercial property. The residential work is rewires and service upgrades; the commercial side is three phase and metering.
The residential part of Exposition Park lies west and south of the park itself, roughly between Jefferson, Vermont, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Arlington. It is mostly early twentieth century houses and bungalows, many converted to duplexes or with added rear units, plus small apartment buildings from several eras. The park holds the Coliseum, BMO Stadium, the Natural History Museum, the California Science Center and the California African American Museum, and Figueroa and Vermont carry commercial strips and student housing near USC.
Around two thirds of households rent, often in older homes where the electrical was added to rather than replaced. We find knob and tube in the original houses, rear units fed by long undersized runs, and storefronts along Vermont with services that no longer fit their tenants. Property owners call about legalizing added units, about separating meters, and about insurance requirements. Commercial owners call when a restaurant or retail tenant needs three phase power or more capacity.
Early twentieth century houses in Exposition Park often still have knob and tube and patchwork additions from years of rental use.
How we handle it →Converted houses and lots with rear units in Exposition Park frequently need separate meters to legalize units and split the load.
How we handle it →Commercial buildings along Vermont and Figueroa near Exposition Park often need larger or three phase services for restaurant and retail tenants.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Exposition Park 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.
Exposition Park is part of the City of Los Angeles, with LADBS issuing permits and LADWP providing service. Commercial work near the park and along Figueroa can need plan check and an LADWP service review for three phase upgrades. Residential panel and meter jobs follow a standard permit. Either way, the sequence is permit, LADWP disconnect, installation, LADBS inspection, and finally LADWP reconnect once the inspection passes.
It can affect scheduling. Events at the Coliseum and BMO Stadium bring heavy traffic and parking restrictions, so we plan LADWP outages, deliveries and inspections around the event calendar. The electrical work itself does not change, but avoiding event days keeps the crew and the inspector on schedule.
Usually, yes, if the unit is permitted or being legalized. We design a new service with two meter positions, run a feeder to the rear unit's panel, and separate any shared circuits. LADBS inspects the work, then LADWP sets the new meter. Each household ends up with its own panel and its own bill.
Electrical permits in Exposition Park 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.
Exposition Park 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.
