Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Sunland has semi rural lots with detached garages, shops and horse property mixed into ordinary residential streets. That load mix is what drives 200 and 400 amp upgrades here.
Sunland started as Monte Vista in the 1880s and joined Los Angeles in 1926, and it still feels more rural than most of the city. Homes range from small prewar cottages to postwar ranch houses on deep lots. Plenty of properties keep chickens, goats or a horse or two, and many owners have built sheds, shops and guest quarters over the years. Those structures are often wired informally, which turns up when a sale inspection or an insurance visit takes a close look.
Calls here tend to come from owners who want to add something big. A detached garage turned into a workshop, a pool, a guest unit for family or a second refrigerator in the barn all add load to a service that was sized decades ago. We also get calls after the utility or an inspector flags a weathered service mast or meter base. Wind and sun on the foothills are hard on outdoor equipment, and replacement is part of many upgrades here.
Sunland lots with barns, shops and guest quarters often need 200 or 400 amp services to cover every structure safely.
How we handle it →Informally wired outbuildings and older Sunland cottages often need new circuits and feeders to pass a sale or insurance inspection.
How we handle it →Sunland ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s commonly have Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels flagged at renewal.
How we handle it →Long driveways and detached garages on Sunland lots make EV charger placement a feeder planning question, not just a breaker.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Sunland is permitted through LA Dept of Building and Safety, and the service is energized by LADWP. We handle the permit application, the plan check where one is required, the inspection scheduling and the utility coordination as part of the job.
Sunland is inside the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS and service from LADWP. When the main service changes, we pull the LADBS permit, file the service request with LADWP, schedule the disconnect, complete the work, pass the LADBS inspection and wait for LADWP to reconnect. On larger lots, any new feeders to detached buildings are usually included in the same permit so everything is inspected together.
Not always, but a weathered mast or meter base is usually replaced as part of a service change rather than patched. If the panel is also old or undersized, upgrading both at once means one permit, one LADWP disconnect and one inspection. We look at the condition of everything from the weatherhead down and give you options.
It depends on what the service already carries. A pool pump, a heater and lighting add meaningful load, and pools require bonding and GFCI protection that older panels may not support well. We run a load calculation first. If the existing service has room, a subpanel near the equipment may be enough.
Electrical permits in Sunland are issued by LA Dept of Building and Safety. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
Sunland is served by LADWP. 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.
