Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Lake View Terrace mixes equestrian parcels with postwar housing, so services here are often stretched across several structures. Long feeder runs and LADBS inspection scheduling both need planning up front.
The west side of the neighborhood is denser, with postwar single family streets and some apartment buildings near Foothill Boulevard. The east side opens up into horse keeping and agricultural parcels against the hills, near Hansen Dam and the trails around it. A newer pocket of larger homes sits in the northeast. That range means a call here could be a 1950s tract house with an original panel or a five acre parcel with a barn, a well and a mobile office.
On the older tract streets, we mostly see original panels that have been patched over time, 100 amp services and wiring that has never been updated for modern appliances. On the larger parcels, the issue is distance and spread, with several buildings fed from one meter through feeders of uncertain age. Owners usually reach out after an inspection, when they add an ADU or garage conversion, or when they want EV charging and find the panel is already full.
Lake View Terrace homes on 100 amp services and parcels with several buildings commonly need larger services to add ADUs or EV charging.
How we handle it →Postwar Lake View Terrace tract homes often still have original Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels flagged by insurers.
How we handle it →Barns and outbuildings on the equestrian side of Lake View Terrace frequently have aging feeders and informal wiring.
How we handle it →Lake View Terrace commuters on the 210 add Level 2 charging, often paired with a panel upgrade.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Lake View Terrace 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.
Lake View Terrace is inside the City of Los Angeles, so electrical permits are pulled through LADBS and LADWP provides service. For a main service change, we file the LADBS permit, submit the LADWP service request, schedule the disconnect, complete the work, pass the LADBS inspection and LADWP reconnects. On parcels with several buildings, feeders and subpanels go on the same permit, and inspection is scheduled once everything is ready.
Sometimes. A small ADU with gas appliances may fit on the existing service with a subpanel. An all electric ADU with its own heat pump, range and water heater often does not, especially on a 100 amp house service. We do the load calculation first so you know whether you need an upgrade or a separate meter before plans go in.
Not by itself, but every feeder needs to be properly sized, protected and grounded, and the main service has to carry the combined load. We often find old feeders buried without conduit or overloaded subpanels. We map every building, test where needed and recommend what to replace.
Electrical permits in Lake View Terrace 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.
Lake View Terrace 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.
