Permanently installed generators that start automatically when the power goes out.
An outdoor inlet and interlock or transfer switch, so a portable generator can power selected circuits without extension cords.
Manual or automatic transfer equipment sized to the generator and the loads you want to keep on.
Fridge, furnace blower, internet, lights and medical equipment moved to a backed-up subpanel.
Generator size matched to what you actually need to run, not guesswork.
Electrical permit, city inspection and utility requirements handled by HAXX.
Outages in Emeryville are usually tied to storms or grid events rather than wildfire shutoffs. For home offices, medical equipment or refrigeration, a plan for backup power still pays off.
A listed inlet and panel interlock lets a portable generator power chosen circuits safely.
For houses with yard space, an automatic standby unit with a transfer switch sized to the circuits you need.
Generators are rarely practical in condos. Batteries may be a better fit, subject to building and HOA rules.

“The technician from Haxx immediately pointed out multiple violations of the National Electrical Code and explained that the wiring was overheating and could potentially become a fire hazard. They offered to redo the installation the correct way, pulled the proper permit, and installed the EV charger safely and professionally. The city inspection passed without any issues.”
“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!”
