Questions and Answers
My Honolulu home's lights flicker, especially when the AC kicks on. What should I do?
Flickering lights in Hawaii are often a sign of an overloaded circuit or loose wiring, common in older island homes. We recommend scheduling an electric inspection first. Our technicians will check your panel's capacity, the condition of your wiring, and the stability of your connections to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's a simple fix or a need for a panel upgrade.
My breaker trips frequently. Can you just replace the breaker, or do I need a new panel?
While a faulty breaker can sometimes be the issue, frequent trips in Honolulu are usually a symptom of an overloaded panel, especially with older systems not designed for today's appliance loads. Our electric inspection will assess your total demand. Often, the safest and most lasting solution is an electric panel installation or upgrade, which we specialize in, to provide your home with the capacity and safety it needs.
I'm adding a solar system to my Oahu home. Do I need an electrical panel upgrade?
Yes, very likely. Most older Hawaiian electric panels aren't equipped to handle the backfeed from a solar installation safely. As part of our electric installation and replacement services, we routinely evaluate and upgrade panels to meet current codes and accommodate solar integration. This ensures your new system operates safely and efficiently, protecting your home and your investment.
