Our Work
Benefits
Future-Ready Installations
We future‑proof your rewire with smart, scalable infrastructure: 200A service upgrades, AFCI/GFCI protection, whole‑home surge protection, and dedicated circuits for EV charging (NEMA 14‑50 or hardwired up to 60A). We specify combination AFCI breakers, JA8‑compliant lighting provisions, and smart-ready load centers (e.g., Leviton smart panels) for circuit‑level energy monitoring. Conduit pathways are added where beneficial, and we preplan capacity for solar, battery storage, heat pumps, and home networking—so your system grows with you.
Permits and Local Code Compliance
Shaffer Construction handles all permitting, plans, and inspections. Our drawings include load calcs per CEC Article 220, single‑line diagrams, panel schedules, and Title 24 lighting compliance details. We install to the current California Electrical Code (based on NEC), NFPA 70, and local amendments. Our team coordinates with City of Santa Clarita Building & Safety, your HOA, and SCE for service upgrades, ensuring a smooth path from rough to final inspection—with documentation you can trust.
Trusted Workmanship and Expertise
We use premium materials—copper NM‑B for interior branch circuits, THHN/THWN in EMT for exposed or garage runs, and listed boxes, connectors, and fasteners. Circuits are neatly routed, stapled, and protected with nail plates; penetrations are fire‑stopped; and panels are torque‑verified and clearly labeled. We prioritize clean, minimal‑damage fishing techniques and provide careful dust control. Every circuit is tested for polarity, impedance, and AFCI/GFCI performance before we call for inspection.
Personalized Planning and Design
Your home, your lifestyle, your loads—our plan reflects it all. We map existing circuits, identify pain points (tripping breakers, hot spots, under‑served rooms), and design new circuits for HVAC, kitchen appliances, laundry, garage tools, EVs, and outdoor living. We phase work to keep essential areas powered while you remain in the home. Detailed layouts, device schedules, and lighting controls are aligned with Title 24 and HOA rules, ensuring a practical, personalized, and compliant result.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to move out during a whole‑home rewire in Santa Clarita?+
Usually not. We phase the work so essential circuits remain available, set up temporary power, and isolate areas with dust protection. Bedrooms and living spaces are sequenced to minimize downtime, and we coordinate with you daily. Some clients choose to be away for 1–2 heavy demo days, but full relocation is generally unnecessary for tract homes.
How long will permitting take with the City of Santa Clarita?+
Most residential rewiring permits take about 1–3 weeks for review, depending on scope and whether a service upgrade is included. We submit complete plans (load calcs, single‑line, panel schedules) to streamline approval and schedule rough and final inspections in advance to keep your project moving.
Will my HOA need to approve the rewire?+
If exterior changes are involved—like relocating a meter, running exposed conduit, or installing an outdoor EV receptacle—most HOAs in Valencia, Bridgeport, and other communities require architectural review. We prepare submittal packages, product cut sheets, and diagrams to secure approval before work begins.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger and modern AC?+
Many 1980s–1990s homes with 100A–125A service benefit from upgrading to 200A when adding EV charging and higher‑efficiency AC. We run load calculations per CEC Article 220 to confirm. If capacity allows, we may be able to add a dedicated EV circuit without a full upgrade, but a larger panel offers more future flexibility.
Can you rewire with minimal drywall damage?+
Yes. We leverage attic and garage access, strategic fishing, and existing chases to reduce wall and ceiling openings. When cuts are needed, we keep them small, protect finishes, and coordinate patch/paint. Our goal is a clean result that looks like we were never there—just safer and more capable power.
