Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Green Valley is wooded rural parcels with detached garages and shops, often on services that were sized for a much smaller house. Long feeder runs and county permitting are the two things that set the schedule.
Green Valley lies in San Francisquito Canyon in the Sierra Pelona, at close to 3,000 feet and about 20 miles north of Santa Clarita. It is a small community of fewer than 500 homes, many on oak covered lots off San Francisquito Canyon Road with detached garages and long driveways. A building believed to date from the Butterfield stage line still stands nearby, but most homes are later rural builds that have been added onto over the years.
Most residents own their homes and many commute down the canyon, so the work splits between capacity and reliability. Owners add chargers for long drives, subpanels for workshops and backup power for when the lines go down. Trees near overhead drops are a recurring problem, and fire safety is always on people's minds, which pushes owners toward enclosed equipment and properly sized feeders to outbuildings rather than patched extension wiring.
Wooded Green Valley lots carry workshops and garages that were added after the house, and the original service was never resized.
How we handle it →The drive from Green Valley down San Francisquito Canyon to Santa Clarita is long, which makes a home Level 2 charger worth having.
How we handle it →Older rural homes in Green Valley can have mixed original and add on wiring that a full rewire brings up to current code.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Green Valley is permitted through LA County Public Works (unincorporated), 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.
Green Valley is unincorporated, so LA County Public Works issues the permits, and Edison serves the canyon largely with overhead lines. A service upgrade starts with the county permit, then an Edison disconnect date, the installation and the county inspection, with reconnection after the release. Where trees crowd the service drop, it is worth sorting out clearance before the work date, since a cluttered drop can complicate Edison's visit.
If the workshop load is modest and the house service has room, yes. We run a feeder to a subpanel in the shop, sized for the tools you use and the distance. If the shop needs a welder, compressor or heater on top of the house load, the main may need to grow. We do the load calculation first so you know before any trenching starts.
Edison maintains its distribution lines, but keeping the drop to your house clear usually falls to the owner. Edison can temporarily disconnect the drop so a tree crew can work safely. If we are upgrading the service anyway, it is a good time to deal with clearance or consider moving the service to a better location.
Electrical permits in Green Valley are issued by LA County Public Works (unincorporated). Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
Green Valley 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.
