SANTA CLARA DETAILSPanel and service work
Panel and service work
in Santa Clara.
In Santa Clara the service drop and meter belong to Silicon Valley Power, not PG&E. Only SVP may work on the service drop, and the city inspector must pass the job before power is reconnected.
01
City service rules
Santa Clara's service upgrade handout requires a surge-protective device in the new panel. It also bans hot cutovers and sets rules for the mast and grounding. HAXX builds to it.
02
SVP panel rebates
SVP lists $4,000 for an approved smart panel (KOBEN, Lumin or SPAN). It also lists $1,500 for upgrading a panel under 200 amps when you add an EV charger or replace a gas appliance. Confirm current terms.
03
Load check first
Many homes can add a heat pump or EV charger without a bigger service. HAXX runs the numbers before recommending an upgrade.

★★★★★
“The technician from Haxx immediately pointed out multiple violations of the National Electrical Code and explained that the wiring was overheating and could potentially become a fire hazard. They offered to redo the installation the correct way, pulled the proper permit, and installed the EV charger safely and professionally. The city inspection passed without any issues.”
★★★★★
“Recently, my dishwasher stopped working, and they discovered it was actually an outlet issue. Not only did they diagnose it quickly, but they also fixed the outlet—saving me from calling an electrician. Reliable, professional, and skilled at handling both appliances and electrical issues.”
★★★★★
“I purchased a couple of ceiling fans and was reluctant due to how old my house was with old wiring so I wanted someone professional and trustworthy. They have been both!”

GOOD TO KNOW
Electrical Panel Upgrade in Santa Clara: questions, answered.
Who reconnects power after a panel upgrade in Santa Clara?
Once the city inspector passes the work, the inspector authorizes Silicon Valley Power to reconnect. The city charges a fee for the reconnection and new meter.
How do I apply for the permit?
HAXX files it through the City of Santa Clara Permitting Online Portal (POP) and schedules the inspection.
Do I need 200 amps?
Not always. A load calculation shows whether your current service can carry the new appliances, sometimes with load management. HAXX recommends an upgrade only when the numbers require it.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
The panel swap itself is usually one day. Permits and utility scheduling for service upgrades can add several weeks, so plan early.
