Barns, arenas and long runs in Horsetown.

Norco calls itself Horsetown USA, and the electrical work here follows the horses. A lot of properties have a barn, a tack room, an arena or a workshop well away from the house, and every one of those needs power that reaches it safely.

That makes Norco a place for sub-panels, long underground runs, outdoor-rated outlets and lighting that lets you work after dark. Most of that power has to travel underground, so trenching is part of the job.

Norco sits just west of Riverside across the Santa Ana River, a short drive for us.

The houses in Norco

Most of Norco is single-family homes on big, often half-acre or larger, animal-keeping lots, many built from the 1950s through the 1980s. The house panel was rarely planned for a barn, an arena and a shop, so a lot of what we do is giving those buildings their own sub-panel fed from the main.

What we keep an eye on here

Barns are dusty, and dust, hay and old wiring are a fire risk together. Outdoor circuits here need proper GFCI protection and covers that stand up to weather and animals. Arena and yard lights also need to switch on and off without someone walking out in the dark.

Permits in Norco

Electrical permits in Norco go through the City of Norco. Underground feeds to a barn or shop usually need one, and we pull it and arrange the inspection.

What Norco calls us for most

• Panel upgrades and service changes. New breaker panels, bigger services, sub-panels, surge protection and generator interlock kits, with the permit and inspection handled.
• Lighting, inside and out. Recessed and LED lighting, fans, security and landscape lights, and parking lot poles and wall packs for commercial properties.
• Troubleshooting and repairs. Tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, burnt wiring and GFCI trouble, found and fixed properly.
