Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Huntington Park is one of the denser cities in the southeast, with older housing and a busy commercial corridor. Meter arrangements and mixed use metering both come up constantly.
Huntington Park incorporated in 1906 as a streetcar suburb, and a large share of its housing predates World War II. Bungalows, two story fourplexes and small courtyard buildings from the 1910s through the 1940s line the residential streets, many on lots that now hold extra units added later. Wiring in these buildings ranges from original knob and tube in the oldest homes to small breaker panels installed during mid century updates, and it is common to find both on one property.
Along Pacific Boulevard, older two story commercial blocks have shops on the ground floor and sometimes apartments or offices above, which brings up questions about separate metering and tenant panels when a storefront changes hands. Residential owners usually call because a unit needs its own meter, a panel trips under air conditioning load, or an inspection found outdated wiring. Landlords of the older fourplexes ask about replacing meter banks that have been in service for decades.
Huntington Park's prewar fourplexes and lots with added units often need a new meter bank to give each unit its own legal service.
How we handle it →Homes from Huntington Park's 1910s to 1930s building period can still have knob and tube or cloth wiring in walls and attics.
How we handle it →Small mid century panels in Huntington Park homes often cannot carry air conditioning and modern kitchens without a larger service.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Huntington Park is permitted through City of Huntington Park, 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.
Huntington Park's building division permits residential and commercial electrical work. On Pacific Boulevard, a mixed use building can need separate permits for the commercial and residential meters, and Edison reviews any new arrangement. The changeover then runs in order: Edison shutoff, installation, city inspection, release and reconnect. In occupied buildings we time the outage around tenants and open businesses.
Usually yes. Separate meters let the tenant and the business pay their own bills and make each space easier to lease. It requires a meter arrangement Edison approves, a city permit and often new panels for each space. We look at the existing service size and the building layout before recommending how to split it.
Working is not the same as safe or insurable. Knob and tube has no ground, the insulation becomes brittle with age, and it was never meant to be buried in insulation. Many insurers and lenders require it removed. If you are remodeling or adding units, replacing it at the same time is the most practical approach.
Electrical permits in Huntington Park are issued by City of Huntington Park. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
Huntington Park 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.
