Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Littlerock has older desert housing stock alongside newer infill, and a lot of it still runs on panels installed before central air was standard out here. Summer load plus sun damaged exterior equipment is the combination we see most.
Littlerock was once called the Fruit Basket of the Antelope Valley, with almond, apple, peach and pear orchards lining the roads near Highway 138, and some homes still sit on former orchard parcels. It is a small community of fewer than 500 homes, mostly single family on large lots, mixing older frame houses, mobile homes and newer stucco builds. Older parcels often have a well pump or an old outbuilding wired into the house panel.
About a third of homes are rentals, so landlords make up a fair share of the calls, usually after an insurer asks for a panel replacement or a tenant reports a breaker that will not stay on. Many houses here were built around evaporative coolers, and switching to central air or a heat pump is the most common reason a service runs out of room. Owners also ask about chargers and solar, which need to be planned together on a small service.
Switching from swamp coolers to central air in Littlerock homes often doubles the cooling load, and older services cannot carry it.
How we handle it →Older frame houses in Littlerock frequently have original panels that insurers flag, especially on rental properties at renewal.
How we handle it →The drive from Littlerock into Palmdale or down the 14 is long enough that a home charger quickly pays for itself.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Littlerock 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.
Littlerock is unincorporated and shares a community standards district with Sun Village, set up in 2007, so building permits come from LA County Public Works rather than Palmdale. Edison serves the area. On a service change, we file the county permit, book an Edison disconnect date, do the replacement and schedule the county inspection. The inspection sign off is what lets Edison reconnect, so we try to keep both on the same day.
Often, yes. An evaporative cooler draws a few amps, while a central air condenser and air handler can need a 30 to 50 amp circuit. On a 100 amp service that already runs a dryer, range and water heater, that can be too much. We do a load calculation before the HVAC contractor sizes the unit, so the panel and the new system are planned together.
In most cases. Most manufactured homes are fed from a meter pedestal or pole mounted service, with a feeder to the panel inside. Upgrading means replacing the pedestal or meter equipment and the feeder, and sometimes the home's own panel. The home's data plate shows what it was built to accept. We check that first, then size the service for any added loads like central air or an EV charger.
Electrical permits in Littlerock 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.
Littlerock 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.
