“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 Woodside: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for a generator in Woodside?
Yes. The Town of Woodside has a generator submittal checklist, and HAXX prepares the site plan, load calculation and transfer switch details.
How do I size a generator for my property?
HAXX lists the circuits you need during an outage, such as the well pump, refrigeration, heat and medical equipment, and sizes the generator from that load.
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.
