Jack of all trades master of none is still better than a master of one. I fortunately am a master of many from every phase of electrical systems to automotive systems out to fine carpentry. My many decades as a tradesman working in a very wide range of environments at all levels, from simple home repairs to Mega Watt commercial solar fields, has honed my extensive experience. Diagnosis is the key to repair. Over the many years I have amassed a arsenal of diagnostic skills and tools. I am often called in when all others have failed. I am old school so my personal integrity is very import. I always seek to give my customers the best job for the best price. I am very clear with communicating the problem and options for repair. I am happy to give my patrons all the information they need to make informed decisions. My goal is always to best serve my customers needs and provide a good safe durable repair. I am constantly on time for all of my customers and work is usually completed in the prescribed time barring any unforeseen issues. My 30+ years of living and working in Hawaii has taught me the best practices for dealing with Hawaii's harsh ocean environment. Stainless fasteners are a must with extra focus on controlling rot and mold. I truly enjoy my work and look forward to helping you with your needs.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Do not touch electrical wires in your home without first turning off the power at your circuit breaker and testing the wire with a voltage meter or multimeter. Electricity still flows through wires even when a light switch is powered off, and touching wires with the switch on can result in electrical shock.

In general, 200 amps is enough for a house with a square footage of up to 1,800, or the average three-bedroom home. A 200-amp service allows your home to warm and cool itself while running multiple appliances at once. It's a good option for homes that have been extended, or after adding new appliances. 200-amp service is the current standard for homes, so in most cases, it will work for you.

To prevent a plug from overheating, always ensure that the electrical load connected to the plug does not exceed the plug's capacity. If the plug feels hot to the touch or emits a burning smell, immediately shut off the circuit breaker and unplug all devices from the hot outlet. Prevent electrical fires by avoiding using extension cords or adapters with the plug, as they can cause it to overheat due to increased resistance. Additionally, ensure that the plug is properly inserted into the outlet and that the outlet is not damaged or loose. 

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

If you plan to have a refrigerator or other appliances that require electricity, you will need an electrical outlet in your outdoor kitchen. Be sure to comply with all National Electrical Code® (NEC®) codes for electrical wiring and outlets in kitchens. If you do not plan to install a refrigerator or any other appliances that require electricity as part of your outdoor kitchen features, then you do not need to install electrical outlets. However, it is a good idea to install at least one electrical outlet should you decide to use any appliances that require electricity.
