Important to know
Why Replace Your Main Panel?
Outdated Panel
Zinsco Panel
We recommends upgrading your panel if:
- Outdated capacity – Older panels were never designed for today’s high-demand homes with EV chargers, central AC, and smart devices.
- Fire hazards – Loose connections and worn breakers can overheat and start a fire.
- Code compliance – Modern upgrades ensure your home meets NEC safety standards.
- Resale value – Buyers and inspectors in the Bay Area often flag old panels during home sales.
Do I need a Preventive Maintenance?
Preventive Maintenance: Why It Matters
Even if your panel “looks fine,” wires inside may already be overheating, burning, or melting insulation.
- Over time, screws loosen, creating hot spots.
- Burnt wires may go unnoticed until it’s too late.
- Preventive maintenance and timely upgrades with Haxx Heating, Cooling & Electrical protect your family and your property from electrical fires.

Live or Safety?
Is It Expensive?
Upgrading a main panel is an investment, but ask yourself:
What’s more expensive — the cost of an upgrade, or the safety of your family and home?
- A properly installed panel saves you from unexpected repairs, potential fire damage, and denied insurance claims.
- Quality work done to the highest standards pays for itself in peace of mind.
Insurance & Liability Risks
- Many insurance companies may deny claims if your home has outdated or unsafe panels.
- Modern panels not only reduce fire risks but also keep your coverage valid.

Protecting Homes, Saving Lives
Protect Your Family
At Haxx Heating, Cooling & Electrical, safety is not just about keeping the lights on — it’s about protecting the people you love most.
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI): These breakers protect against electrical shocks by shutting off power instantly if they sense electricity flowing where it shouldn’t — like through water or a human body. This protection is especially critical in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets.
- Children & Seniors at Higher Risk: Kids often don’t recognize hazards, and elderly family members may have slower reactions or health conditions that make even small shocks more dangerous. AFCI and GFCI breakers add an essential layer of safety for the most vulnerable members of your home.
- Peace of Mind: With a modern panel upgrade, you can be confident that your home is equipped with the same protections demanded by today’s strict California electrical codes. You won’t just be preventing outages — you’ll be preventing accidents that could change lives.
