Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Newhall is the oldest part of Santa Clarita, with early twentieth century homes downtown and postwar tracts around them. Knob and tube remnants and undersized services both turn up here more often than elsewhere in the valley.
This was the Santa Clarita Valley's first permanent town, and the Pioneer Oil Refinery site nearby is one of the earliest in California. Around Old Town Newhall and Main Street, housing includes early twentieth century homes on narrow lots, then postwar ranch houses and older established neighborhoods like Happy Valley. Placerita Canyon adds larger, older properties on semi rural lots, and Friendly Valley is a long established senior community where residents often want simple, safe upgrades.
Old Town has seen new mixed use and apartment buildings in recent years, which puts new multi unit services right next to buildings that are close to a century old. Older commercial buildings along Main Street call about service upgrades when a new tenant needs kitchen or equipment power. On the residential side, insurers flag older panels, buyers want fuse boxes gone and owners of small rentals call about splitting or adding meters.
Early twentieth century homes around Old Town Newhall still turn up knob and tube and ungrounded circuits that insurers want replaced.
How we handle it →Postwar and 1960s homes in Newhall's older tracts often carry Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that insurers flag at renewal.
How we handle it →Small older Newhall homes on 60 or 100 amp services need upgrades before adding central air, chargers or kitchen remodels.
How we handle it →Duplexes, small rentals and older apartment buildings near Old Town Newhall often need meters split, added or replaced.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Newhall is permitted through City of Santa Clarita, 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.
Newhall is inside the City of Santa Clarita, so permits are pulled with the city's building and safety division. Edison owns the service. For a main panel or service upgrade on an older home, we file the permit, get an Edison disconnect date, do the work, pass city inspection and Edison reconnects after receiving the release. Older homes near Old Town may need the meter relocated to meet current Edison clearance rules, which adds a step.
Code does not force removal of existing knob and tube that has not been altered, but it cannot be buried in insulation, and many insurers will not cover a home that still has it. Most owners replace it during a remodel, an insulation upgrade or before a sale. We trace what is still live and quote replacing it in stages or all at once.
Usually, yes. Splitting means adding a second meter, either as a new meter bank or a second socket, and separating each unit's wiring onto its own panel. Edison has to approve the new meter arrangement, and the city permits the work. It often makes sense to upgrade the service size at the same time. We handle the design, the permits and the Edison coordination.
Electrical permits in Newhall are issued by City of Santa Clarita. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
Newhall 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.
