Working in Lancaster

Lancaster sits on the floor of the Antelope Valley, in the high desert north of the San Gabriel Mountains, and the climate shapes the electrical work here more than in any coastal city we serve. In late August 2025 the city pointed residents to cooling centers including the Lancaster Library, George Lane Park and the Antelope Valley Senior Center as forecast highs ran from 102 to 110°F, and on days like that a house leans hard on its air conditioner for hours at a stretch. An older service that also has to carry a pool pump, a dryer and a car charger is where those afternoons show up as warm breakers and nuisance trips.

Much of the housing is relatively young. The city's 2021–2029 housing element, using 2014–2018 Census estimates, reports that about 68 percent of Lancaster homes were built in 1980 or later and a third in 1990 or later, so the typical call is less about knob-and-tube and more about panels and services sized before electric cars, heat pumps and home batteries. Detached single-family houses make up roughly 70 percent of the stock, and mobile homes are a real part of the mix as well. Infinity Electrical can help Lancaster customers in English or in Spanish, and we walk the property before writing up a quote.

  • Lancaster Energy, the city's own power program, buys the electricity for enrolled customers; SCE still owns the wires, reads the meter and sends the bill
  • First U.S. city to require solar on new homes (2014), so many newer houses already have panels on the roof
  • Quartz Hill shares Lancaster’s 93536 ZIP but is unincorporated, as is Antelope Acres: LA County permits

What's common in Lancaster homes

Lancaster is roughly half owner-occupied (53.4% of households in 2018, per the housing element), with tract houses from the 1980s and 1990s, newer solar-equipped subdivisions, mobile home parks and a growing industrial edge near the airfield.

  • 1980s and 1990s tracts. These make up much of the city, and their original panels were planned for a house with one air conditioner and a gas range. Adding a heat pump, a second A/C unit, an induction cooktop or a Level 2 charger usually starts with a load calculation to see whether the existing service has room.
  • Homes built under the solar rule. Since 2014, new subdivisions have been built with solar capacity, so the main panel on a newer Lancaster house is often already sharing space with a solar breaker. Battery storage and chargers can still fit, but the panel's busbar rating and the solar connection have to be checked together; our article on solar during an outage explains why most grid-tied systems stop when the grid goes down.
  • Mobile homes. The housing element counts 3,974 mobile home and other units, about 7.4 percent of the city's housing, and the housing element calls for zoning to preserve senior mobile home parks. The city regulates park rents under its mobilehome rent stabilization chapter and has policies on park conversions. Electrical work on a coach or on a park's distribution system follows the state's mobilehome rules, so we confirm which agency inspects that park before starting.
  • Fox Field Industrial Corridor. In 2000 the county sold the city just over 120 acres beside General Wm. J. Fox Airfield to promote this corridor, and large developments now line Avenue G. A state environmental filing describes a proposed warehouse of about 510,000 square feet at 25th Street West and Avenue F-8 under the Fox Field Specific Plan. Buildings of that kind often have three-phase service for docks, compressors and lighting.

Permits and power in Lancaster

Lancaster (main ZIP codes 93534, 93535 and 93536, plus post-office-box ZIPs 93539, 93584 and 93586) has its own Building & Safety staff within the city's Development Services. A Lancaster mailing address does not always mean a city permit, though: Quartz Hill, on the west side of the valley, shares the 93536 ZIP but is an unincorporated community governed by the County Board of Supervisors, and so is Antelope Acres farther northwest. Work there is permitted through Los Angeles County Public Works, whose Antelope Valley Building and Safety Office is itself located in Lancaster.

Permits inside city limits go through the city's Accela-based online permit portal, where residential and commercial electrical permits are among the listed types; fees, document uploads and inspection scheduling run through the same account. The city also runs Symbium, an expedited residential permitting system, which handles roof-mounted residential solar (since November 1, 2024) and residential re-roof and HVAC permits (since September 1, 2025). Residential Electrical is one of the permit types listed on the Accela portal, and for panel upgrades and chargers we coordinate the permit and the inspection.

Who supplies the power. The City of Lancaster started its own not-for-profit power program in 2015, first for city accounts and then for the public that October, and SCE now lists it as Lancaster Energy. Its standard product is Clear Choice, with Smart Choice as a 100% renewable option a customer can opt up to. SCE still delivers the electricity, reads the meter, sends the bill and handles outages, so for electrical work the service drop and meter remain SCE's. A service upgrade is requested through SCE's Building, Renovation and Project Planning Portal, whichever power program appears on the bill.

Rooftop solar is already common. In 2013 the city council passed Ordinance 989, and when it took effect on January 1, 2014, Lancaster became the first city in the country to require solar on new homes, according to a 2014 Assembly resolution. We don't install solar, but many houses built since then already have an inverter and a backfeed breaker in the main panel, which matters when that panel is upgraded or a charger or battery is added; we plan the work around the existing system and the solar contractor's equipment rather than disturbing it.

The permits and utilities guide explains the whole picture for the three counties we serve.

Around Lancaster

Quartz Hill often uses Lancaster mailing addresses, and both it and Antelope Acres sit outside the city, so their permits come from Los Angeles County Public Works through its Antelope Valley office in Lancaster; SCE serves them too, but Lancaster Energy is a city program and may not appear on their bills. Palmdale, south along the Antelope Valley Freeway, is a separate city with its own building department and its own power program, Energy for Palmdale's Independent Choice (EPIC), also delivered over SCE lines. Santa Clarita, farther southwest, is another SCE city with its own permit office.

Questions people ask

I live in Quartz Hill with a Lancaster address. Does the City of Lancaster issue my permit?

No, Quartz Hill is unincorporated Los Angeles County, so electrical permits there come from LA County Public Works rather than the city. The county runs an Antelope Valley Building and Safety Office in Lancaster for these unincorporated communities, and Antelope Acres is handled the same way. We look up the parcel before the estimate so the application goes to the right office.

My bill says Lancaster Energy. Do I call them or SCE about a panel upgrade?

SCE, because Lancaster Energy only buys the electricity while Southern California Edison still owns the lines and the meter. Disconnecting and reconnecting service for a new panel is requested through SCE's project portal, and a new panel doesn't change which program supplies your power. See how a Lancaster panel upgrade works.

My house already has solar from the builder. Can I still add an EV charger or a battery?

Usually yes, but the main panel has to be checked first because the solar connection already uses part of its capacity. Lancaster has required solar on new homes since 2014, so this question comes up often here. We size the charger or battery circuit around the existing solar breaker, and if the panel is too small we discuss an upgrade; we don't install or alter the solar array itself. See EV chargers for Lancaster homes and our battery backup guide.

Our breaker trips on the hottest summer afternoons. What should we do?

Leave the breaker off if it trips again right away and call an electrician; repeated tripping under heavy A/C load points to an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker or a loose connection. Don't keep resetting it or open the panel yourself. Need urgent electrical assistance? Call Infinity Electrical to check technician availability. Our breaker troubleshooting article covers the common causes, and repairs are on our electrical repair page.

Do you do electrical work in Lancaster mobile home parks?

Yes, we work for both residents and park owners on repairs, added circuits and panel work. The city's housing element counts nearly 4,000 mobile home and other units in Lancaster, and the state's mobilehome rules govern most park electrical systems. Details are on our mobile home electrical page.
