Kona Electric - Kealakekua's Local Electrical Services

Yes, we can definitely help. GFCI outlet failures are a common issue here, often linked to Hawaii's humid climate, which can cause moisture to build up in outlets, or from normal wear and tear. Our electricians will first diagnose the specific cause—whether it's the outlet itself, a wiring issue, or a ground fault elsewhere on the circuit. We then provide a clear repair or replacement solution to restore safe, code-compliant protection for your kitchen, bathroom, or outdoor areas.

Absolutely. We are experienced in the full installation of residential EV charging stations, a service that's becoming increasingly popular. Our process includes assessing your home's electrical panel capacity, ensuring proper circuit breaker installation, and running the necessary wire to your desired location. We handle all permits and work to meet local utility requirements, providing a safe, efficient setup so you can reliably charge your vehicle at home.

A meter and panel upgrade increases your home's electrical capacity and safety. You might need one if you're adding major appliances, an EV charger, or a generator, or if your current system is outdated. As specialists in this area, we manage the entire process: securing approval from HECO, MECO, or HELCO, removing the old equipment, and installing a new, higher-capacity meter and panel. This ensures your electrical service can safely handle modern demands and meets current codes.
