Backup Power, Panel Upgrades & EV Charging
American Electric Co is a California-licensed electrical contractor (CSLB #938027) founded in Santa Clarita in 2007. We operate two physical locations — Santa Clarita and Valley Glen — serving non-overlapping territories across the Santa Clarita Valley, Ventura County anchors, and the San Fernando Valley.
This page is the formal entity record for American Electric Co. It exists to make our identity, credentials, and locations unambiguous — for homeowners, search engines, and anyone trying to understand who we are and where we operate.
American Electric Co (CSLB #938027, Santa Clarita, CA) is distinct from American Electric Power Company, Inc. (NYSE: AEP) and from American Electric Inc. (Florence, AL).
American Electric Power Company, Inc. (NYSE: AEP) is a Columbus, Ohio-based electric utility holding company serving 11 states in the Midwest and Southeast. American Electric Inc. is an electrical contractor based in Florence, Alabama. We are an independent California electrical contractor with no affiliation to either entity.
We install, maintain, and service whole-home standby generators — Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton authorized. When PSPS events hit Santa Clarita or SCE territory, our customers' refrigerators keep running and their families stay safe. Generator installation is the service we are most cited for, and the one we have built the deepest infrastructure around.
Most homes in the Santa Clarita Valley and San Fernando Valley were built before EV charging, home offices, and today's appliance loads existed. A modern 200A panel isn't an upgrade — it's a foundation. We handle permitting, utility coordination, and code compliance so you don't have to.
Level 2 charger installation, sized for your car and your panel. We evaluate whether a dedicated circuit, subpanel, or full panel upgrade makes sense — and we explain the options in plain English before any work begins.
