Going all-electric,
in the right order.
Heat pump HVAC, heat pump water heater, induction cooking, EV charging and a dryer: one plan, so the electrical service is sized once and nothing is paid for twice.
Load calculation
Total electrical demand after the switch, and whether load management avoids a service upgrade.
Heat pump HVAC
Ducted or ductless heat pumps replacing the furnace and AC.
Water heating and cooking
Circuits for heat pump water heaters and induction ranges planned with the HVAC work.
EV charging
Charger circuit included in the same load plan.
Rebates
Utility, city and state rebates checked for your address before you commit.
BERKELEY DETAILSGoing electric
Going electric
in Berkeley.
Berkeley has an Existing Buildings Electrification Strategy, and its BESO time-of-sale rules give credit for heat pumps, panel work and rewiring. Most owners still go electric at their own pace.
01
Order of work
HAXX starts with the panel, then sequences heat pump HVAC, water heating, induction and EV charging so nothing is redone.
02
BESO credits
Heat pump HVAC, a heat pump water heater, a panel upgrade, a smart panel and knob-and-tube replacement each count as full-credit measures in Berkeley's BESO guide.
03
Try induction first
The city points residents to Acterra's East Bay Induction Lending Program at the Ecology Center and the Berkeley Tool Lending Library.

★★★★★
“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!”
★★★★★
“Prompt and professional - they helped run a new thermostat wire through a wall and crawl space.”

GOOD TO KNOW
Whole-House Electrification in Berkeley: questions, answered.
Does Berkeley ban gas in existing homes?
No. Berkeley's 2019 ordinance applied to new buildings and was repealed in 2024 after a Ninth Circuit ruling. Gas appliances already in a home may stay in service and be repaired.
Do I need a new panel to go all-electric?
Not always. Careful load planning, efficient equipment or a smart panel can keep many homes on their existing service.
Do I have to replace everything at once?
No. Many homes go step by step. Planning the electrical capacity first means each step fits without rework.
Will electrification raise my bills?
It depends on rates, equipment efficiency and how you use the home. Ask HAXX to walk through the expected changes for your appliances.
