My name is Micah, and I was born and raised on Kauai. I bring over ten years of hands-on experience in the electrical trade, working on a wide range of residential and commercial projects. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, along with a commitment to doing safe, high-quality work. Growing up on the island has also given me a solid appreciation for the local community and the unique demands of working in Kauai’s environment.

"Where do I start.... communication was excellent, the price was very reasonable, and most important, the technician who completed the repair obviously knew exactly what he was doing (and was professional and nice!) I am highly recommending True Power Electric to anyone."

"Very friendly. Very Professional. And they didn’t have to come back ! It was done right the first time. They are thorough and double check everything. Provided a way fairer price than what I had been quoted in the past. Mindful of not wearing slippahs in the house ! I could go on all day about these guys. I will definitely be calling back for ANY future house problems."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

If you need to run a wire from the meter to the breaker box, start by turning off the power using the main switch to avoid injury risks from live wires. Then, locate the ground wire from your meter and connect it to the ground bar of the breaker box. Connect the neutral wire using the same method to improve your circuit efficiency.

Next, locate the hot wires running from the main switch to the meter. To connect them to the correct terminals from meter to breaker, unscrew the nuts of the breaker hotwire terminals, insert the positive hotwire, and ensure it’s firmly attached. Finally, secure the wires with electrical tape and wire tie cables before re-securing your breaker box. Keep in mind that this process can be dangerous, so don’t hesitate to hire a local electrician.

The most common gauge for indoor outlets around your home is 12- and 14-gauge wires. But if you’re working with larger appliances like ovens, washing machines, or dryers (all of which require more amplitude), you might find 10-, eight-, or six-gauge wires to help support those hefty appliances.

An electrician can handle wiring issues with the garage door opener, like faulty connections, circuit problems, or sensor malfunctions, but they’re not the right person to hire for mechanical repairs. Garage door specialists handle things like broken springs, tracks, and panels, while electricians step in if there’s an issue with power supply, motor function, or safety sensors that aren’t responding correctly.

In the United States, home outlets support a standard 15 amps, but you can upgrade per outlet if necessary. Most single-family residential homes have a maximum overall amp rating, usually 100 to 200 amps. Very old houses may have less than 100 amps, but that’s rare. Large homes often come with amp services above 200 amps to support modern lifestyles.
