Backup power,
connected safely.
Standby generators and portable generator hookups installed with the right transfer equipment, so the house is powered safely and the utility line is never back-fed.
Portable generator inlets
An outdoor inlet and interlock or transfer switch, so a portable generator can power selected circuits without extension cords.
Transfer switches
Manual or automatic transfer equipment sized to the generator and the loads you want to keep on.
Critical-load panels
Fridge, furnace blower, internet, lights and medical equipment moved to a backed-up subpanel.
Load calculation
Generator size matched to what you actually need to run, not guesswork.
Permits and inspection
Electrical permit, city inspection and utility requirements handled by HAXX.
TIBURON DETAILSBackup power on
Backup power on
the Tiburon Peninsula.
PG&E shut off power to Tiburon, Belvedere and Strawberry in October 2019, and some neighborhoods were out for up to three days. Demand for generators and batteries rose afterward.
01
Design review for generators
The Town lists generators and similar noise-generating equipment as needing design review and a building permit. HAXX prepares both.
02
Inlet and interlock
With a listed inlet and an interlock on the panel, a portable generator can run chosen circuits and never feed the utility lines.
03
Standby or battery
Automatic standby units suit long outages. Batteries are quiet and pair with solar. HAXX compares both for the loads you need.

★★★★★
“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!”
★★★★★
“Prompt and professional - they helped run a new thermostat wire through a wall and crawl space.”
★★★★★
“I told him that the lights in my living room had been flickering for a while and asked if he could take a quick look. Instead of brushing it off, he immediately went to the main panel, asked a few questions, and then checked my subpanel in the garage.”

GOOD TO KNOW
Generator Installation in Tiburon: questions, answered.
Does a generator need a permit in Tiburon?
Yes. The Town requires design review and a building permit for generators and similar noise-generating equipment. HAXX handles the submittal.
How do I connect a portable generator safely?
Through a transfer switch or a listed inlet with a panel interlock. Never plug a generator into a wall outlet.
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.
