"It's about two hours after I shared my electrical issue on Angi when I received a call from Jordan West willing to help me out. He was in Hilo side and was about to head out to Kona. So he asked me about my electrical issues and I explained it to him. He asked me to take pictures of my main panel box and the type of breaker. I sent him the pictures and all the informations and he showed up hours later, did some tests, replaced the breaker and BOOM, there was light. Everyone in the house were happy. It only took him two minutes of work to restore back electricity to my home. I am forever grateful for this particular gentleman a job well done. Way to go Jordan West and your company. I will definitely hire him again whenever I encounter electrical issues in the future. Much Mahalo Jordan West."
"I have had a huge issue for 6 issues at my rental property...Several electricians came out, and could not find it, but Isaiah did...So the issue was a crazy voltage drop on all my circuits when I ran the washing machine. It turns out that when the place was built, multiple sizes of gauge wire were used, and a thin wire created a voltage drop. I can not say thank you enough for actually figuring it out. Isaiah also dropped the bill down to half price because I'm a brokie. Thank you so much."
