PALO ALTO DETAILSElectrical work in
Electrical work in
Palo Alto homes.
Palo Alto housing runs from early 1900s homes in Professorville and Crescent Park to 1950s Eichlers and newer infill. Wiring age and layout vary block by block.
01
Older homes
Knob-and-tube remnants, ungrounded outlets and thin kitchen circuits are common in pre-war houses. HAXX updates them in stages.
02
Eichler ceilings
Exposed beams and flat roofs leave little room for new wiring. HAXX plans runs and fixtures around the structure.
03
Appliance circuits
Induction ranges, heat pump water heaters and dryers often need new 240V circuits, which CPAU may help fund through add-on rebates.

★★★★★
“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!”
