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 Keauhou customers say

★★★★★

Tesla Wall Connector install. Clean conduit run, nothing sloppy, and they did a load calc first instead of just hoping it would hold.

Bryson L., Keauhou
★★★★★

Twelve recessed lights and two dimmers in one day. Ceiling looks like it was designed that way from the start.

Generator Installation in Keauhou: frequently asked questions

What size generator do I need in Keauhou?
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 Keauhou?
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 Keauhou?
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 Keauhou?
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 Keauhou?
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 Keauhou 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.
What areas around Keauhou do you serve?
We cover Keauhou and the wider Hawaii Island area, plus the rest of Hawaii. If you are just outside Keauhou, call (888) 633-7804 and we will confirm coverage in one minute.
Do you give written quotes in Keauhou?
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.
