Backup power,
connected safely.
Standby generators and portable generator hookups installed with the right transfer equipment, so the house is powered safely and the utility line is never back-fed.
Portable generator inlets
An outdoor inlet and interlock or transfer switch, so a portable generator can power selected circuits without extension cords.
Transfer switches
Manual or automatic transfer equipment sized to the generator and the loads you want to keep on.
Critical-load panels
Fridge, furnace blower, internet, lights and medical equipment moved to a backed-up subpanel.
Load calculation
Generator size matched to what you actually need to run, not guesswork.
Permits and inspection
Electrical permit, city inspection and utility requirements handled by HAXX.
CUPERTINO DETAILSBackup power
Backup power
for Cupertino.
Most of Cupertino sits on the valley floor, and in one past PG&E shutoff the city reported very few customers in scope. Storms and grid outages still leave homes without power.
01
Transfer switch
A transfer switch keeps generator power off the utility line and protects line workers. HAXX installs manual and automatic switches.
02
Essential circuits
Refrigerator, internet, lights, medical equipment and the furnace blower are common picks. HAXX sizes the generator to that list.
03
Batteries too
Home batteries are another option, and SVCE lists rebates for home battery storage. Confirm current terms with SVCE.

★★★★★
“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!”
★★★★★
“Prompt and professional - they helped run a new thermostat wire through a wall and crawl space.”
★★★★★
“I told him that the lights in my living room had been flickering for a while and asked if he could take a quick look. Instead of brushing it off, he immediately went to the main panel, asked a few questions, and then checked my subpanel in the garage.”

GOOD TO KNOW
Generator Installation in Cupertino: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for a generator in Cupertino?
Yes, for a permanently connected generator or transfer switch. HAXX files it.
Can I plug a portable generator into my house?
Only through a transfer switch or interlock. Backfeeding through an outlet is unsafe. HAXX installs a proper inlet and interlock.
Can I plug a generator into an outlet?
No. Back-feeding through an outlet is dangerous for you and for utility workers. Use an inlet with an interlock or a transfer switch.
What size generator do I need?
It depends on the circuits you want to keep powered. HAXX lists your critical loads and sizes the generator to them.
