Provider arrived on time to review our apt's electrical system. We were concerned about the power tripping off in the kitchen. He opened the electrical panel and walked us through what he found. He also advised how to avoid the issue but fixing the circuit load would be cost prohibitive as walls would need to come down in the condo to re-wire. We were satisfied that the electrical system is not dangerous and there were simple ways to avoid tripping the fuse. He shares a lot of info on what he finds and why things are the way they are. If you want this level of detail. We also hired him to review the electrical system in our home condo. He performed the same service there and identified a shared circuit that he was able to quickly fix with parts he had in his truck. The cost was reasonable and he identified another issue that was able to be resolved by changing out a light switch. He recommended we go ahead and do that one ourselves rather than being charged his fee. We appreciated his honesty and leaving us with the option to decide how to handle it to save some money.

Paul arrived early and patiently diagnosed the problem and quickly determined that the wall switch had failed. I have some ability with electrical service and I completely missed that problem. I would rate his overall service as excellent and will definately use him again. Joe

So far, so good...stay tuned
Description of Work: Paul performed a HECO electrical service upgrade on our 51-year-old house, in Ewa Beach, to prepare it for a PV solar installation. I have a number of "custom" add-ons to the existing home and Paul was straight-shooting with respect to the pending job. He outlined all existing problems, 90% all of which were life/property threatening. He described my options and gave his recommendations, all of which i feared but planned to do in the future anyway. He saw that the permit was squared away, HECO was slated for the change over service, and completed 90% of the upgrade (25 jul)...now we await HECO to switch over the service so we can make ready for the PV panel install and the city & county final inspection.

Paul was able to come the very next day after I called. He arrived early, diagnosed the problem rapidly and stayed to do the work himself. I will definitely call him should I need an electrician again.

He was there about an hour and fixed a light.
Description of Work: He fixed an outlet that was on the fritz, but he did not do a detailed consultation of the electrical wiring in our apartment as advertised. His advice was minimal, it seemed like he did not want to spend much time with us as he was only getting paid a low amount.

We knew a few things that were wrong. Paul made suggestions on what we could do to fix them. He knows exactly what he is doing. Paul made fast work of what needed to be done and was in and out of our home, so we could go about our day. Everything is working great. We will not only use Paul for our future electrical needs, but we have already referred him to our friends.
Description of Work: We purchased a home inspection, and Paul came out to do the inspection was very punctual ... actually early.

Once Paul arrived at my house he did a thorough walkthrough and pointed out what needed to be done. Everything he said was not new to me because it had already been pointed out by other electricians but what set him apart from the rest was that he was very detailed and meticulous in how he explained what needed to be done and why it needed to be done. The price was ultimately what sealed the deal. I asked for three things from Paul: 1. I needed a new electrical panel 2. I needed to relocate the Electrical Panel, and 3. Relocate the electrical meter from the rear of the house to the front of the house. My house is an older home that needed a complete electrical panel upgrade. The panel was old, very small, and no room to add any new electrical appliances. I was unable to connect anything else into the electrical panel because there wasn't any more room. I also wanted to relocate the electrical panel to a location that was easier to access because it was located in a place where access was difficult. The last thing I needed was to relocate my electric meter from the back of the house to the front of the house. Paul took care of all the permits. He coordinated with HECO to come over and set up my new meter, and he performed all work ahead of schedule and on budget. That is a tribute to a man that knows his business and clearly understands Hawaii electrical regulations. He also is very informed on what is expected by the agencies such as HECO, which is very important to provide an accurate schedule of when work will be completed. Most importantly, he had the best prices on the island. Thanks to Paul, I have a safer home, a new electrical panel in the ideal location with additional room to connect new appliances. East Oahu Electric is the company that I will use for any future electrical work. Paul is the only electrician that will be doing any work at my house from this point on. Paul is enthusiastically recommended to anyone needing electrical work, especially military personnel and veterans. He took good care of me and my family. Thank you East Oahu Electric.
Description of Work: Paul and his assistant were very professional and performed outstanding electrical work. I found East Oahu Electric through Angie's List. I contacted Paul and we met to discuss the electrical work I was requesting. He arrived at my house on time and most importantly, he provided the best estimate with the most details. What's important to point out is that I met with 4 other electrical companies and none of them offered a better deal.

Paul & his assistant arrived promptly at the agreed upon time and worked steadily through the mid-afternoon to install the new fixtures & plug. We have an older house (ca 60 years in the original portion, nearly 40 in the addition) with an electrical system that is not completely upgraded to current standards. Despite the quirkiness of our house's outlets & systems, Paul & his assistant were able to install all but one of the new fixtures and that location, it turned out, had other issues that will need to be resolved later. Paul also came back a following day in order to swap out a non-working motion sensor security light (a warranty issue) and we really appreciated his willingness to do so. We will be hiring East Oahu Electric again for future work & we can recommend them to others without reservation.
Description of Work: We needed to replace 8 fixtures and a plug. Paul was able to make a quick site visit the same day we called & provided an accurate estimate for what we wanted. We were especially happy to have someone provide an estimate beforehand since that has not always been our experience when we've had to call electricians.

Overall I was not impressed and would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: Singularly unimpressed. Sent a very detailed request for a quote in writing via the website with exactly what I needed done, response was prompt but very poor. During the phone call to me the same questions were asked several times that had been outlined already in the email requesting a quote, no on site inspection was done even when I requested that one be completed in order to make sure he understood what I was asking them to do. When an estimate was requested it was offered over the phone and when I asked if it could be emailed the response was no they would mail it. Quote did come within a couple days, however one of the items requested was not listed in the quote.

I am happy to recommend Paul. I found him to be responsive, and responsible. I hope that his business prospers and that he does well.
Description of Work: Paul, the owner, repaired a number of defective sockets and added a couple of new outlets at my house, the maintenance of which had been neglected for some years. He checked through all lights and outlets to ensure that they were working properly. He responded very promptly earlier when I reported to him that a circuit breaker had blown and he gave me detailed advice over the phone first.

We feel much better knowing that the electrical system in our home is safe and working properly. We highly recommend his services and will call him again if we should ever have a need.
Description of Work: We recently bought a new, older home and were concerned about its electrical system. We hired Paul to check it out and he did a fantastic job. He arrived on time and quickly identified a few problems. He was easy to communicate with and answered a lot of questions we had. We asked him to replace all of the home's receptacles (4 bedrooms, covered lanai, washer area, living room, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room) and light switch covers, in some cases adding ground fault protection. He also replaced a breaker to provide ground fault protection to our kitchen.

It perhaps cost more than we expected, but so far the work has held up. Everything works great, and I'm very happy with how quickly he responded to both the initial call and the follow-up, and with how happy he was to work around my schedule. Will definitely use him again for future jobs.
Description of Work: Had some trouble with lighting fixtures in a bathroom. At first, he just tightened everything up and it seemed to work. (Though of course we had done this several times.) When it all went on the fritz again, he came back promptly, looked more carefully at the problem, and got new fixtures installed that same day... running out to the store for the parts he needed.

I even got an education about how the circuit breaker's and GFI function. I am not an electrician by any stretch of the imagination so his help was amazing.
