BERKELEY DETAILSElectrical work in
Electrical work in
Berkeley homes.
Berkeley's housing runs from Victorian and brown-shingle homes to post-1923-fire stucco houses and mid-century apartments. Much of it predates modern electrical loads.
01
Knob-and-tube
The city requires a licensed electrician's safety report before insulation covers knob-and-tube. Replacing it, with 240-volt prewiring, is a full BESO measure.
02
240-volt prewiring
Circuits for a future heat pump water heater, heat pump, dryer and induction range are a common request and earn partial BESO credit.
03
Permits
HAXX applies for City of Berkeley electrical permits when work requires one and meets the inspector.

★★★★★
“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.”
★★★★★

★★★★★
“Prompt and professional - they helped run a new thermostat wire through a wall and crawl space.”

Do you work on older homes?
