Electrician in Vernon, California

Vernon is almost entirely industrial and it runs its own municipal utility rather than Edison, which changes the service coordination completely. The work here is three phase gear, switchboards and tenant power.

Vernon incorporated in 1905 as an exclusively industrial city, and it has stayed that way. Its residents number only in the low hundreds, while the city is filled with food processing plants, cold storage, garment and textile operations, metal shops and distribution warehouses. Many buildings are concrete tilt up and brick structures from the 1920s through the 1960s, with original switchboards and distribution panels that have been modified repeatedly as tenants came and went.

The electrical work here is commercial and industrial. Owners and facility managers call when a new tenant needs more capacity, when refrigeration or process equipment is being added, or when an old switchboard fails an insurance or safety inspection. Splitting a large building into multiple tenant spaces, each with its own meter and distribution, is a common project. So is tracing undocumented circuits left behind by previous occupants before a lease turnover.
