Electrician in Glendale, California

Yes, and it is one of the most common upgrades we do in Glendale. A new meter stack feeds an individual subpanel in each unit, so tenants reset their own breakers and the house panel only serves common areas. The work needs a permit, a planned outage coordinated with GWP and notice to tenants. We stage it to keep the building dark for as short a time as practical.

Possibly, but check first. Glendale has designated historic districts, and exterior changes visible from the street can require review before work starts. We usually look for a location on a side or rear wall that keeps equipment out of view and still meets clearance rules. If the front is the only workable spot, we plan for the review step before the permit is pulled.

Often it is not. Central air, an electric range and a dryer can take most of a 100 amp service on their own. Add an EV charger or a remodel and the math stops working. We run the load calculation the city expects and show you whether a 200 amp upgrade is needed or whether a load management device gets you there.

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

Glendale is served by Glendale Water and Power. 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.
