NOVATO DETAILSPanel upgrades
Panel upgrades
in Novato.
Novato's EV charger guideline sizes the main breaker by total household load, from 100 amps up to 225 amps. If the existing breaker is too small, a larger service is required.
01
Load math first
HAXX totals existing and planned loads, as the city worksheet does, to see whether you need a new panel or can manage load instead.
02
Older equipment
Postwar homes often have small services or panels with brands that are hard to find parts for. HAXX replaces them when needed.
03
PG&E coordination
Service upgrades need PG&E scheduling for disconnect and reconnect. HAXX handles the paperwork and city inspection.

“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 Novato: questions, answered.
How do I know if my Novato home needs a bigger panel?
A load calculation compares total demand with your main breaker. Novato's worksheet shows the minimum breaker size for each load range.
Do panel upgrades need a permit in Novato?
Yes. HAXX files the electrical permit through Novato Permits and arranges the inspection.
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.
