Hawaii Island spreads power across long rural feeders, vog-exposed coastline and homes above 2,000 feet that were often owner-built. Corroded lugs and undersized services are the two things we find most.

What Hawi customers say

★★★★★

Breaker kept tripping every time the dryer ran. Turned out to be a loose lug in the panel, not the dryer at all. Fixed in under an hour and explained exactly what I was looking at.

Old fuse box finally replaced. They walked me through why the old one was a problem rather than just telling me to be scared of it.

Generator Installation in Hawi: frequently asked questions

What size generator do I need in Hawi?
It depends what you want running. A critical loads setup covering fridge, lights, fans and a well pump is far cheaper than whole home coverage. We size it from a load calculation.
Do I need a transfer switch in Hawi?
Yes. Running a generator through an extension cord or a backfed dryer outlet can energise the utility line and is genuinely dangerous. A transfer switch isolates you properly.
Automatic or manual transfer in Hawi?
Automatic starts and switches on its own within seconds, which matters if you are away or have medical equipment. Manual costs less and is fine if someone is usually home.
How long does generator installation take in Hawi?
A manual interlock or inlet box is often a single day. A standby unit with an automatic transfer switch typically takes one to two days plus inspection.
Can you service a generator already installed in Hawi?
Yes, including transfer switch testing, load testing and fixing installs that were not done correctly the first time.
Where does the generator go on a Hawi property?
On a level pad, clear of windows and vents, with the manufacturer's clearances respected. We will walk the property and show you the options.
Do you handle both homes and businesses in Hawi?
Yes. Residential work in Hawi runs from single repairs to full rewires. Commercial work covers offices, restaurants, retail and warehouses, usually scheduled after hours so you do not lose trading time.
Do you work on older homes in Hawi?
Frequently. Older Hawi properties often have two prong outlets, cloth or knob and tube wiring, or a panel that ran out of room years ago. We prioritise what is unsafe first and give you a staged plan for the rest.
