Electrical work in Santa Clarita
An ADU, second EV charger, pool equipment or a home office can change the electrical requirements. We review the service, existing loads and proposed equipment before comparing options. Any applicable association review, city or county permits and utility coordination need to be identified for the property. Share the equipment details and plans before locations and routes are finalized.
Common questions
Do I need a bigger service for an ADU?
Not always. The question is whether the ADU is fed from the existing service or takes its own, and that follows the load calculation, the meter arrangement and what the jurisdiction requires. An all-electric unit pushes harder than one with gas cooking and heating. Deciding this early matters because it affects trenching, panel location and the permit — it is an awkward thing to change once the slab is down.
Where do I get a permit in Santa Clarita?
The permit agency depends on the property’s jurisdiction and proposed work. Confirm whether the parcel is within the City of Santa Clarita or an unincorporated county area before applying. Check the electricity provider separately. Any required association review is a further process; allow for its documentation and timing alongside permits and utility coordination.
