★★★★★
“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 Atherton: questions, answered.
Does a panel upgrade in Atherton need a permit?
Yes. HAXX applies to the Town of Atherton Building Department, coordinates the PG&E disconnect and reconnect and meets the inspector.
What does Atherton's reach code require for a panel upgrade?
The upgraded panel and service must have capacity for electric-ready appliances and reserved space for EV charging. HAXX designs the panel to meet it.
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.
