Electrifying a
Portola Valley home.
The Town's reach code does not force existing homes off gas, but AC replacements and panel upgrades already move them toward electric. WestLight Energy (formerly Peninsula Clean Energy) offers rebates along the way.

★★★★★
“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
Whole-House Electrification in Portola Valley: questions, answered.
Does Portola Valley require me to electrify my home?
No. The Town's 2022 reach code focuses on new construction and some AC and panel work. Working gas appliances do not have to be replaced.
What does WestLight Energy offer for electrification?
WestLight Energy lists rebates for heat pump HVAC and water heaters that replace gas, among other programs. Check current terms with WestLight before committing.
Do I have to replace everything at once?
No. Many homes go step by step. Planning the electrical capacity first means each step fits without rework.
Will electrification raise my bills?
It depends on rates, equipment efficiency and how you use the home. Ask HAXX to walk through the expected changes for your appliances.
