EL CERRITO DETAILSElectrical work
Electrical work
in El Cerrito.
El Cerrito requires a permit for any electrical work. Older houses, hillside additions and new ADUs each bring their own wiring problems.
01
Older wiring
Ungrounded outlets, overloaded kitchen circuits and tired panels are common in older homes. Modern appliances often need dedicated circuits.
02
ADU circuits
Detached ADUs need a feeder or subpanel sized for all-electric heating, cooking and water heating.
03
Permits handled
HAXX applies through eTRAKiT or the Building Division's email process and meets the inspector.

★★★★★
“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.”
