★★★★★
“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 Pinole: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Pinole?
Yes. Use the City's instant permit option or eTRAKiT; eTRAKiT panel permits are listed at about 2 to 3 business days for approval.
How do I know if my panel is too small?
A load calculation compares your existing and planned loads against the service rating. HAXX does this during the estimate.
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.
