Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Inglewood has older single family stock and a large number of small apartment buildings, many still on original metering equipment. Development pressure around the stadium has brought a lot of renovation work that triggers service upgrades.
Growth came in waves from the 1920s through the 1950s, so the single family streets mix Spanish revival homes, small bungalows and postwar stucco. Morningside Park has larger 1920s and 1930s houses on wider lots. Between the single family pockets sit many 1950s and 1960s apartment buildings, often with tuck under parking and four to twenty units on one aging service. That mix means fused panels, cloth wiring and undersized mains can turn up within the same few blocks.
Owners and property managers call when a sale, refinance or new insurer flags the electrical, or when a renovation brings the building up for inspection. With values rising since SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome opened, more owners are adding ADUs and converting garages, which puts a second dwelling on a service sized for one small house. Single family buyers also ask about EV chargers and central air in homes that never had either.
Inglewood's 1950s and 1960s apartment buildings often still run every unit off original meters and a service that was never upsized.
How we handle it →Garage conversions and ADUs on single family lots push services that were built for one small house well past their rating.
How we handle it →Prewar homes in Morningside Park and the older central streets often still carry cloth insulated or ungrounded wiring from the original build.
How we handle it →Postwar homes and apartments here commonly have the Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels that come up at refinance or insurance renewal.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Inglewood is permitted through City of Inglewood, 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 pulled with the City of Inglewood, and Edison provides the electric service. For a service change, the permit comes first, the Edison disconnect is scheduled for the day of the swap, the city inspects the new equipment, and Edison restores power once the inspection is approved. ADU projects add a decision up front: feed the new unit from the existing service or give it its own meter, which changes what both Edison and the city review.
In many cases it can. A separate meter means a new service point that Edison approves, plus a permit for the new service and the ADU wiring. The other option is a subpanel fed from the main house, which needs enough capacity in the existing service. We run the load numbers for both so you can compare cost and how the utility bills would be split.
Most likely. Fuse panels and early breaker panels in rental buildings are a common reason for insurance questions or non-renewal. Replacing them usually means new unit panels and, depending on the meter equipment, a new meter stack and service. We assess the whole building first so the work can be scheduled with one Edison outage instead of several.
Electrical permits in Inglewood are issued by City of Inglewood. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
Inglewood 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.
