Electrician in Sun Valley, California

Sun Valley mixes older residential with light industrial and truck yards, so three phase service and heavy single phase upgrades both come up. That mix makes the load calculation the first conversation, not the last.

Sun Valley was called Roscoe until residents picked the current name in 1950, and much of it still has a working character. Gravel pits, recycling yards and landfills share the area with older homes on the streets in between. Up the slope toward the Verdugo Mountains, La Tuna Canyon keeps a semi rural feel. Stonehurst, a historic district of about ninety river rock houses built mostly in the mid 1920s from Tujunga Wash stone, is one of the most unusual neighborhoods anywhere in the Valley.

Residential owners here call about small, aging services, panels flagged by insurers, and back units that need power. Stonehurst owners need special care because the stone walls are solid masonry, so new wiring follows a different path than in a framed house. Business owners in the industrial areas call when equipment arrives, when a landlord changes the use of a building, or when an inspector finds old wiring. That mix keeps our crews switching between residential and commercial work on the same week's schedule.
