"John was professional and thorough. He returned my interest call promptly and came by the next day to do an estimate on outlets for a bathroom and kitchen appliance. On the day of the job, he spent the time to do the job correctly. In researching his fees, I found him fair and competitive with the local market. I am extremely pleased with the quality workmanship on my project. I would highly recommend Abbott Electric, LLC."

"Tui and his sons provided outstanding service to us, helping resolve an electrical problem we had experienced for years. Our home had too many appliances running on one circuit, which caused the breakers to trip, especially when using the air conditioners. Tui and his sons were able to run a new line to help distribute the electrical load, allowing us to run our AC units without constantly tripping the breakers. Their quick service, knowledge, kindness, and genuine care brought much-needed relief to us, especially in the heat. Beyond solving the electrical issue, they provided peace of mind and showed what it means to serve others with aloha. We are truly grateful for the work Tui and his sons did for our family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, dependable, and caring electrical service. Mahalo nui loa, Tui to you and your sons!"

"Dick and Dave reviewed my plans to install a level 2 electric vehicle car charger in my garage, which included a full rewiring of the entire garage, and installation of a new 20 breaker 200 amp subpanel. Dick was very responsive and was helpful with researching the project design prior to pulling the city permit. Dick provided the written estimate at a reasonable price. They started work immediately once I approved the project. Dick and Dave were very prompt and professional with this installation. I will highly recommend Aloha Solar and Electrical to my friends and family. Mahalo Dick for all your help on my project."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The wrong-sized wire can lead to several safety hazards, including structural fires, surges, power outages from tripped breakers, and electrocution. It’s important to follow the American Wire Gauge system and the National Electrical Code guidelines to safely wire a home. Electrical wiring is not safe for homeowners to handle and is best left to a licensed electrician.

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.

Most 200-amp panels have 40 to 42 slots, which can accommodate 40-42 single-pole breakers or 20 double-pole breakers. Some panels can accept even more circuits through the use of tandem breakers. The exact number of breakers allowed is determined by the panel manufacturer's rating, which you can find on the panel itself. It is important to avoid using all breakers at the same time; as a general rule, you should not use more than 160 amps of power at once to prevent overloading your 200-amp system. For specific guidance, it's best to check your panel's rating or consult with a qualified electrician.

Yes, GFCI breakers are required for all outdoor outlets. This code requirement applies to all outlets located on balconies, decks, patios, and other outdoor lounge spaces. In addition, outdoor outlets need to have watertight covers that provide protection when cords are plugged in. If you have an older home that may not be up to code, it's a good idea to also ask your electrician about adding GFCIs to some indoor areas. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and any other areas of a home that are commonly exposed to moisture should have GCFI breakers.
