OAKLEY DETAILSPanel upgrades
Panel upgrades
in Oakley.
Oakley's newer tract homes often have more capacity than the older homes near Main Street, but adding an EV charger, heat pump and ADU together can still exceed it.
01
Load calculation
HAXX calculates actual demand under the California Electrical Code before recommending an upgrade. Many homes do not need one.
02
Older panels
Homes near Downtown can have aging panels with no spare spaces. Replacement restores capacity and safe breakers.
03
Permit and utility
HAXX files with the City of Oakley, schedules the PG&E disconnect and reconnect, 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.”

GOOD TO KNOW
Electrical Panel Upgrade in Oakley: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit to replace my panel in Oakley?
Yes. Expect a City of Oakley electrical permit and inspection for a panel replacement. HAXX handles both and confirms details with the Building Division.
How long will the power be off?
Typically one working day, depending on PG&E's schedule for the disconnect and reconnect.
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.
