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 Keaau customers say

★★★★★

Smart switches through the whole house. They added neutrals where the boxes didn't have them instead of telling me it couldn't be done.

Jodi N., Keaau
★★★★★

They replaced a panel that was so full the door wouldn't close. Now it's labelled properly and I can actually find a breaker.

Generator Installation in Keaau: frequently asked questions

What size generator do I need in Keaau?
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 Keaau?
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 Keaau?
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 Keaau?
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 Keaau?
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 Keaau 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 Keaau?
Yes. Residential work in Keaau 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 give written quotes in Keaau?
Always. You get the scope, the parts and the price in writing before work begins, which is useful for landlords, strata boards and resale files.
