REDWOOD CITY DETAILSPanel upgrades for
Panel upgrades for
Redwood City homes.
Redwood City publishes its own handouts for residential electrical service changes and upgrades. Many homes built in the 1950s and earlier still run on small services.
01
Load calculation first
HAXX calculates the existing and planned load. Some homes can add electric appliances without increasing service size.
02
Older equipment
Federal Pacific, Zinsco and undersized fuse or split-bus panels turn up in older Redwood City homes and are worth replacing.
03
Rebates
Redwood City lists up to $500 toward a panel upgrade needed for new heat pump equipment, and WestLight Energy (formerly Peninsula Clean Energy) has offered panel support too. Confirm terms first.

★★★★★
“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
Electrical Panel Upgrade in Redwood City: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Redwood City?
Yes. HAXX submits it through eTRAKiT following the city's service-upgrade handout, coordinates the PG&E disconnect and meets the inspector.
Does Redwood City offer a panel rebate?
The city lists up to $500 when an upgrade is needed for heat pump equipment, with extra permit-cost help for CARE, FERA and WSRAP customers. Confirm before you start.
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.
