Frequently Asked Questions

How can an electrical inspection help with salt air corrosion in my Kapaa home?

A thorough electrical inspection by Cat Electrix is the first defense against salt air damage. We meticulously check wiring, panels, outlets, and fixtures for signs of corrosion, which can cause poor connections, overheating, and fire hazards. Early detection allows for proactive repair or replacement with corrosion-resistant materials, preventing costly failures and ensuring your home's electrical system remains safe and reliable.

My outlets are acting up near the coast. Is this a repair or a full replacement job?

In Kapaa, faulty outlets are often a direct symptom of salt air corrosion affecting the internal contacts and wiring. While a simple repair might suffice in some cases, we frequently recommend replacement with modern, weather-resistant (WR) outlets specifically designed for damp and corrosive environments. This provides a longer-lasting, safer solution that stands up to our local conditions, protecting your home and appliances.

We're interested in solar, but our home has older wiring. Is an upgrade needed first?

Absolutely, and this is a critical step many Kapaa homeowners face. Before any solar installation, Cat Electrix conducts a full assessment of your existing electrical panel and wiring. Older systems, especially those with improper grounding or corrosion, often need upgrading to handle the new solar equipment safely and efficiently. We ensure your entire system is robust and code-compliant, providing a solid foundation for your new solar array to perform reliably for years.
