SAN ANSELMO DETAILSBackup power in
Backup power in
San Anselmo.
Wooded hills around San Anselmo put the area in PG&E's PSPS picture, and winter storms down lines too. The Town has specific permit rules for generators.
01
What the permit needs
For a generator tied into the panel, Town guidelines require a single-line diagram with wire size, the transfer switch or interlock, and whether it is a separately derived system.
02
Noise limits
Town guidelines allow a higher limit for generators serving emergency equipment, and note that a PSPS is not a Town emergency unless declared. Placement matters.
03
Inlet or standby
A listed inlet and interlock lets a portable generator power chosen circuits safely; a standby unit starts on its own.

★★★★★
“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 San Anselmo: questions, answered.
How do I safely connect a generator to my San Anselmo home?
Only through a transfer switch or a listed inlet with a panel interlock. The Town asks for a single-line diagram showing it.
What size generator should I get?
That depends on what must run in an outage. HAXX sizes it from a load calculation of your chosen 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.
