“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
Generator Installation in Moraga: questions, answered.
Can I plug a portable generator into a Moraga house?
A transfer switch or a listed inlet paired with a breaker interlock is the safe route; plugging into a wall outlet can backfeed the grid. HAXX installs either setup.
What generator size fits my home?
That comes from the loads you need during an outage, such as the fridge, well pump, medical equipment or heat. A load calculation sets the size.
Can I plug a generator into an outlet?
No. Back-feeding through an outlet is dangerous for you and for utility workers. Use an inlet with an interlock or a transfer switch.
What size generator do I need?
It depends on the circuits you want to keep powered. HAXX lists your critical loads and sizes the generator to them.
