Electrician in North Tustin, California

North Tustin is unincorporated large lot hillside housing with long service runs and detached structures. The County of Orange handles the permit and Edison the service.

The unincorporated foothill area takes in Lemon Heights, Cowan Heights, Red Hill and Panorama Heights, along with streets laid out on former citrus land. Much of the housing went up from the 1950s through the 1970s as custom and semi custom homes on large, often sloped lots, and close to nine in ten occupied homes are owner occupied. The Foothill Communities Association, active since the 1960s, weighs in on development, but there is no city government.

Homes from that era commonly have original panels, Federal Pacific and Zinsco among them, two wire circuits in the older wings and aluminum branch wiring in some 1960s and 1970s additions. Many have been remodeled several times, and each remodel tends to leave its own subpanel behind. Owners usually call when an insurer flags the panel, when a remodel needs more capacity, or when they add EV charging and solar on a service sized for a much smaller house.
