Q&A
I think rodents have chewed my wires. What should Maui Electric Works check first?
We'll start with a thorough safety inspection, focusing on your attic, crawl space, and areas where wiring is exposed. We look for visible damage, test affected circuits for faults, and check your electrical panel for signs of trouble. Our repair involves safely removing the damaged wire sections and installing new, rodent-resistant wiring where possible to prevent future issues.
My solar system is tripping a breaker. Can you fix wiring faults related to my inverter?
Absolutely. Faulty inverter wiring is a common issue we see in Kihei. We'll inspect the dedicated circuit from your inverter to the main panel, check all connections for corrosion or looseness, and ensure the wiring gauge is correct for the system's load. We repair or replace any faulty components to restore your solar system's safe and efficient operation.
For older Kihei homes, is a panel upgrade or repair better for handling modern loads and solar?
It depends on the condition and capacity of your existing panel. During an inspection, we assess its age, physical condition, and if it has space for additional breakers needed for solar or an EV charger. Often, an upgrade to a modern, higher-capacity panel is the safest, long-term solution for adding new technology and preventing overloads in older homes.
