Our Work
Benefits
Cutting-Edge Compliance Solutions
We design corrections that prepare your home for tomorrow’s loads. That can include upgrading to copper-bus load centers with space for EV chargers, whole-home surge protection (UL 1449 Type 2), and dual-function AFCI/GFCI breakers. For solar-equipped homes, we ensure compliant labeling, rapid shutdown interface integrity, and capacity for battery storage. We also offer smart load centers (Leviton, Eaton, Siemens) and energy monitoring to track usage and plan for future circuits without rework.
Ensuring Full Code Compliance
Our team handles permitting and inspections end-to-end. We build to the California Electrical Code (Title 24, Part 3, based on NEC 2020) and local amendments enforced by the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division. We correct common violations, improper neutral/ground separation, missing GFCI/AFCI, inadequate grounding electrodes, to meet code and pass inspection the first time. Clear labeling, updated directories, and compliant working clearances are standard on every job.
Superior Craftsmanship & Reliability
We use listed, code-compliant materials from trusted manufacturers, Square D by Schneider Electric, Eaton, Leviton, and copper conductors where required. Terminations are torqued to spec, anti-oxidant is applied on aluminum lugs, and all splices are made in accessible, properly sized boxes with covers. Outdoor receptacles get in-use covers; pool/spa circuits receive correct GFCI/GFPE and bonding. Expect clean panel organization, legible directories, and tidy conduit runs that keep HOAs and inspectors happy.
Tailored Home Assessments
Every home is different. We start with a room-by-room assessment and load calculation to identify deficiencies and anticipate future needs (EV, hot tub, ADU). Then we draft a correction plan that sequences work efficiently, minimizing downtime and coordinating with HOA guidelines. You receive a written scope, materials list, and schedule. If permits are needed, we prepare submittals with panel schedules, one-line diagrams, and product cut sheets for smooth approval.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for electrical code corrections in Santa Clarita?+
Many corrections, like panel upgrades, new circuits (EV chargers, hot tubs), or major wiring fixes, require a permit from the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division. Minor like-for-like device replacements may not. We assess your scope: advise on permit requirements, and handle the application, plan review, and inspection scheduling for you.
How long will my power be off during corrections or a panel upgrade?+
For most correction projects, we plan work to minimize outages, often just a few hours. Panel upgrades typically require a full-day outage, coordinated in advance. We arrive with materials staged, complete terminations efficiently, and restore power the same day whenever feasible. We also offer temporary power strategies for sensitive equipment.
Can my existing 100A panel support an EV charger and air conditioning?+
Often, a 100A service is tight for EV charging and large A/C loads. We run a load calculation per NEC Article 220 to determine feasibility. Options include a service upgrade to 200A, a subpanel, or smart load management that safely prioritizes circuits. We’ll recommend the most cost-effective path that meets code and your usage.
Will you work with my HOA for exterior electrical changes?+
Yes. We review your HOA’s Architectural Guidelines, propose HOA-friendly equipment locations and conduit routes, and provide drawings or product data as needed. We coordinate approval timelines so city permits and inspections align with the HOA process, helping you avoid rework or fines.
What code edition does Santa Clarita use for residential electrical work?+
Santa Clarita enforces the California Electrical Code (Title 24, Part 3), currently based on the 2020 NEC, along with any local amendments. We design and build to those standards and prepare plans and labels that reflect current requirements for AFCI/GFCI protection, grounding/bonding, and equipment clearances.
Picture this: your Santa Clarita home: whether it's in a Valencia master-planned community, a Stevenson Ranch townhome, or a custom build in the canyons, passes its resale electrical inspection on the first try. The panel is properly grounded, circuits are clearly labeled, obsolete components are replaced with code-compliant upgrades, and your system is built to handle modern loads like EV chargers or air conditioning. No surprises at closing. No delays with the City of Santa Clarita. No more wondering if outdated wiring or an overloaded panel puts your family at risk. Shaffer Construction holds all three major California licenses, General Engineering (A), General Building (B), and Electrical (C-10), so we handle code corrections end-to-end without outsourcing permits or inspections. Twenty-five years and over 1,000 projects across Los Angeles have given us deep knowledge of exactly how the City of Santa Clarita reviews electrical work and what HOA guidelines typically require. Owner-led means the company maintains high standards and real accountability, not that the owner personally wires every panel, but that you're working with a contractor serious about doing things right.
