Meter stack installations and upgrades
Modern, space saving solutions for multi unit properties that allow individual metering.
Learn more →Upland's oldest neighborhoods around downtown date to its citrus era in the early 1900s, while north Upland climbs toward the foothills with larger 1970s and 1980s homes. That range means knob and tube in some houses, original postwar panels in many, and long service runs on the hillside lots.
Downtown Upland and the streets around Euclid Avenue hold Craftsman and period homes from the early 1900s through the 1930s. Many have been remodeled in stages, so we find knob and tube spliced into newer circuits, small services and old fuse panels. South of downtown, much of the city is 1950s and 1960s tract housing with original panels, plus apartments and condos that need meter banks and common area panels maintained.
North Upland, including the area around Upland Hills, has larger homes from the 1970s and 1980s on hillside lots, often with pools, detached garages and long runs. Strong foothill winds bring Edison public safety power shutoffs to parts of the area, so battery backup and generator transfer switches are common requests. Across the rest of the city, owners call about EV chargers, solar plus storage, and insurance flagged panels in the postwar homes south of downtown.
Early 1900s homes near downtown Upland often still have knob and tube spliced into newer wiring that needs replacing.
How we handle it →Upland's 1950s and 1960s tracts have many original panels that insurers flag, including Zinsco and Federal Pacific units.
How we handle it →North Upland homes with pools, detached garages and battery backup often need larger services and new subpanels.
How we handle it →Upland commuters frequently add Level 2 charging, and long garage runs on hillside lots need careful circuit planning.
How we handle it →Electrical work in Upland is permitted through City of Upland, 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.
Upland's building division issues electrical permits, and Southern California Edison provides service throughout the city. We secure the permit, schedule the Edison shutoff, install the new equipment, and Edison reconnects after the city inspection passes. Homes in San Antonio Heights, just north of the city, are unincorporated and permitted by San Bernardino County instead, so we confirm jurisdiction for foothill properties before applying.
Edison has used public safety power shutoffs in foothill areas during strong wind events. Options include a battery system, with or without solar, or a generator with a properly installed transfer switch or interlock. The right choice depends on what you need to keep running and how long. We check your panel and service first, then design the backup around it.
No. San Antonio Heights is unincorporated, even though many addresses there use Upland. Permits go through San Bernardino County. The housing and the Edison side of the job are similar to north Upland, but the permit counter and inspector are different. We confirm the parcel before applying.
Electrical permits in Upland are issued by City of Upland. Morff Electric handles the permit application, the plan check where one is required, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
Upland 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.
