Whole House Rewiring for Hilo homes and businesses

Whole House Rewiring in Hilo starts the same way every time: we look at what is actually installed before quoting anything. Knob and tube, cloth wiring and aluminium branch circuits replaced room by room or all at once. On Hawaii Island that matters, because two houses on the same street rarely share a wiring history.

Rentals and vacation properties in Hilo need work scheduled around guests. We book early morning, evening and between-stay windows, and we clean up so a unit turns over the same day.

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.

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

What Hilo customers say

★★★★★

Restaurant kitchen circuits redone overnight so we never closed. That is the only reason I could afford to do it.

They found aluminium branch wiring during an inspection before we bought. Saved us from a very expensive surprise.

Whole House Rewiring in Hilo: frequently asked questions

How do I know if my Hilo home needs rewiring?
Two prong outlets throughout, cloth or fabric sheathed cable, knob and tube in the attic, aluminium branch wiring, or warm switch plates. An inspection confirms it quickly.
How long does rewiring take in Hilo?
A full rewire on an average home is usually several days to a couple of weeks depending on size, access and whether walls are open.
Can I live in the house during a Hilo rewire?
Usually yes. We work in sections so you keep power to part of the home, and we plan which rooms go offline with you each day.
Do you patch the walls after rewiring in Hilo?
We leave patches ready for paint. Full finish and paint can be coordinated if you would rather it be handled in one go.
Can you do a partial rewire in Hilo?
Yes. Kitchens, baths and additions are common partial jobs, and they are often the areas with the worst original wiring.
Is aluminium wiring a problem in Hilo homes?
Aluminium branch circuits from the 1960s and 70s need proper remediation at every connection. We either pigtail with approved connectors or replace the runs.
What should I do while I wait for an emergency electrician in Hilo?
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.
My breaker keeps tripping in Hilo. Is that an emergency?
A breaker that trips occasionally under heavy load is a capacity problem. A breaker that trips immediately every time you reset it is a fault, and that one needs attention now. If there is heat, buzzing or a burning smell, call (888) 633-7804 straight away.
