Questions and Answers

What should I expect during an electrical inspection from a licensed contractor in Hilo?

A thorough electrical inspection from our licensed team involves checking your entire system for safety and code compliance. We examine wiring, circuit breakers, outlets, and grounding systems, specifically looking for issues common in our area like corrosion from humidity or outdated components. You'll receive a clear report detailing any concerns, potential hazards, and our recommended solutions to keep your home safe and up to standard.

My appliances have been damaged by a power surge. Can you help prevent this from happening again?

Absolutely. Power surges, often from our island's weather or grid fluctuations, are a frequent issue in Hilo. We can diagnose the cause of the surge—whether it's external or stemming from your home's wiring—and implement solutions. This often includes installing whole-house surge protectors at your main electrical panel, which act as a first line of defense to safeguard your valuable electronics and appliances from future voltage spikes.

I suspect rodents have chewed my wiring. Is this a common problem, and how do you handle it?

Unfortunately, rodent damage to wiring is very common in Hilo and poses a serious fire risk. If you hear scratching in walls or have unexplained electrical faults, it's important to act. We safely inspect the affected areas, remove and replace all compromised wiring, and can advise on or install rodent-deterrent measures like sealing entry points and using protective conduit to help prevent future incidents.
