SAN CARLOS DETAILSPanel upgrades
Panel upgrades
in San Carlos.
Older San Carlos homes, especially in Cordes and the older hillside streets, often have panels sized for a gas house. Adding a heat pump or EV charger exposes the limit.
01
Load calculation first
HAXX calculates actual demand before recommending a service upgrade. Many homes have more room than expected.
02
Older panel brands
Federal Pacific, Zinsco and worn split-bus panels are replaced rather than extended.

★★★★★
“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 San Carlos: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in San Carlos?
Yes. HAXX applies through the city's online portal, coordinates the PG&E disconnect and reconnect, and meets the inspector.
How long will the power be off?
Usually one working day for a panel swap, depending on PG&E scheduling.
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.
