Benefits of Professional Outlet & Switch Installation
Improved Safety
Improperly installed outlets and switches are leading causes of electrical fires. Our professional installations ensure safe wiring, proper grounding, and secure connections to prevent overheating, arcing, or shorts, especially in Honolulu’s high-moisture environment.

Jerry Giles is an excellent electrician. He installed a very tricky lamp over our dining room table, replacing one that had been there for 20 years. He did a fabulous job and is reliable and easy to work with! Reasonable prices as well! We highly recommend him.
