Electrical Panel Upgrade for Kapaa homes and businesses

Booking electrical panel upgrade in Kapaa should not take three quotes and two weeks of waiting. 100 to 200 amp service upgrades, breaker box replacement and sub panels sized for what you actually run. We assess, quote flat, and schedule around you.

If you are buying or selling in Kapaa, an electrical inspection before the offer closes is far cheaper than a renegotiation after it. We document what we find and give you a written scope you can hand to anyone.

Kauai's older north and west shore homes often still run original cloth-sheathed or aluminium branch wiring, and heavy rain means outdoor circuits need real weather-rated covers, not the flat snap-shut kind.

Call (888) 633-7804 or request a call back and we will book a window that works.

What Kapaa customers say

★★★★★

Called at 11pm with a burning smell in the hallway. Someone answered, someone showed up, and I slept that night. Hard to overstate how much that was worth.

Dave R., Kapaa
★★★★★

Storm took out our service entrance cable. They coordinated with the utility and had power back the next morning.

Electrical Panel Upgrade in Kapaa: frequently asked questions

How do I know my Kapaa panel needs upgrading?
Full breaker slots, double-tapped breakers, a fuse box, frequent tripping, a warm cover, scorch marks, or a plan to add an EV charger, AC or a range. Any one of those is a reason to look.
How long does a panel upgrade take in Kapaa?
Most residential upgrades are a one day job, with power off for part of it. Utility coordination and inspection can add scheduling time, and we handle that for you.
What size service should I get in Kapaa?
200 amp is standard for most homes now, especially with an EV or a heat pump in the plan. We run a load calculation rather than guessing.
Can you replace just the breaker box in Kapaa?
Sometimes, if the service and meter are in good condition. If the service entrance cable is undersized or corroded, replacing only the box leaves the real bottleneck in place.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Kapaa?
Service work is permitted and inspected. We take care of the paperwork and the inspection appointment as part of the job.
Will my power be off all day in Kapaa?
Not usually all day. We plan the outage window with you in advance so you can move anything temperature sensitive first.
What should I do while I wait for an emergency electrician in Kapaa?
If you smell burning or see sparking, switch off the affected breaker or the main if you can reach it safely, unplug what is on that circuit, and stay clear. Then call (888) 633-7804 and describe what you saw so the right crew and parts are sent.
What areas around Kapaa do you serve?
We cover Kapaa and the wider Kauai area, plus the rest of Hawaii. If you are just outside Kapaa, call (888) 633-7804 and we will confirm coverage in one minute.
