★★★★★
“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 Santa Clara: questions, answered.
Can I back-feed my house with a generator cord?
No. It can put power onto the utility lines and endanger line workers. Use a transfer switch or a listed inlet with an interlock.
How do you size a generator?
We list the circuits you need during an outage and run a load calculation on them.
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.
