What Lahaina customers say

★★★★★

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.

Fern Y., Lahaina
★★★★★

Upgraded us from 100 to 200 amp so we could add the EV charger and a mini split. Quoted flat, finished on the day they said, no surprises on the invoice.

Generator Installation in Lahaina: frequently asked questions

What size generator do I need in Lahaina?
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 Lahaina?
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 Lahaina?
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 Lahaina?
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 Lahaina?
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 Lahaina 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.
Can you upgrade my panel and add an EV charger at the same time in Lahaina?
That is usually the cheapest way to do it. One mobilisation, one load calculation, one inspection. We size the service for the charger plus anything else you are planning, such as a mini split or induction range.
What should I do while I wait for an emergency electrician in Lahaina?
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.
