Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Santa Clarita is largely master planned tract housing from the 1970s onward, along with a lot of newer ADU conversions. The common jobs are 200 amp upgrades to support an ADU subpanel and EV chargers added to garages that were wired for one 20 amp circuit.
The city was formed in December 1987 when Valencia, Newhall, Saugus and Canyon Country merged, and those four communities still define how the housing varies. Newhall has the oldest homes. Saugus and Canyon Country carry large 1960s through 1980s tracts. Valencia grew as a planned community from 1967 on, and builders such as Lennar, Tri Pointe and KB Home have added newer neighborhoods since 2000. Single family tracts dominate, with condo and apartment complexes along the main corridors.
Those condo and apartment complexes are where meter bank work comes in. Many date from the 1970s and 1980s, and HOA boards and property managers call when a bank fails inspection or a building needs more capacity for resident chargers. Homeowners call about pool equipment, whole home batteries, kitchen remodels and garage chargers. In the older tracts, insurers and home inspectors also flag panel brands that were common when those homes were built.
Condo and apartment complexes along Santa Clarita's main corridors have aging meter banks that HOAs and managers need upgraded or replaced.
How we handle it →1960s through 1980s tracts in Saugus and Canyon Country often have 100 or 125 amp panels that cannot add modern loads.
How we handle it →Santa Clarita commuters drive the 5 and the 14 daily, which makes Level 2 home charging one of the most requested jobs.
How we handle it →Older Santa Clarita tract homes from the 1960s and 1970s frequently have Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels flagged by insurers.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Santa Clarita 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.
Santa Clarita has its own building and safety division, so work inside city limits is permitted by the city. Neighboring communities such as Stevenson Ranch, Castaic and some areas west of Interstate 5 are unincorporated and go through LA County instead, so the parcel matters. Edison serves the whole valley. The sequence is permit, Edison disconnect and service order, installation, inspection, then reconnection after the inspector releases the job.
In most complexes the meter bank is a common element, so the HOA board authorizes the work under its governing documents rather than each owner. The board should confirm that with its manager or attorney. We provide the scope and pricing for the board, coordinate the Edison shutdown and give residents advance notice so units are without power for as short a time as possible.
Sometimes. A heat pump can replace a gas furnace and an older AC, and its load may be manageable. Add a 40 or 50 amp charger and many 125 amp panels run out of room. A load calculation shows whether you need a 200 amp upgrade or can use load management to share capacity. We run it before you commit to either.
Electrical permits in Santa Clarita 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.
Santa Clarita 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.
