Backup power,
connected safely.
Standby generators and portable generator hookups installed with the right transfer equipment, so the house is powered safely and the utility line is never back-fed.
Portable generator inlets
An outdoor inlet and interlock or transfer switch, so a portable generator can power selected circuits without extension cords.
Transfer switches
Manual or automatic transfer equipment sized to the generator and the loads you want to keep on.
Critical-load panels
Fridge, furnace blower, internet, lights and medical equipment moved to a backed-up subpanel.
Load calculation
Generator size matched to what you actually need to run, not guesswork.
Permits and inspection
Electrical permit, city inspection and utility requirements handled by HAXX.

Generators in
Mountain View.
Outages in Mountain View are usually short, but home offices, medical equipment and full fridges make reliable backup worth planning before the next winter storm.
01
Critical loads
Internet, fridge, lights and medical equipment can run from a small critical-load panel instead of a whole-home generator.
02
Safe hookups
An outdoor inlet with an interlock or transfer switch keeps a portable generator from back-feeding the line.
03
Batteries
Homes with solar may prefer batteries. HAXX can help compare the electrical side of both.

★★★★★
“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!”

GOOD TO KNOW
Generator Installation in Mountain View: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for a generator in Mountain View?
Yes. Generator connections and transfer equipment need an electrical permit. HAXX files it.
Can you connect my portable generator?
Yes. HAXX installs an inlet with an interlock or transfer switch for selected circuits.
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.
