"Daniel was extremely responsive, positive from hearing description of my electric problem, offered same day assessment. Once he diagnosed the problem and described plan of treatment, I was able to relax. Daniel immediately searched for replacement materials and committed to fixing the next day. The new ceiling lights installed with damaged wiring replaced, and job done as promised. Text communication, receiving invoice by email, all made this a positive experience. Thank you for excellent, professional service! I highly recommend ultimate electric for any electrical services!"

"Tevita was very punctual, he always called or texted to keep me informed of when he would be arriving or when he would be able to call me back! That NEVER happens! He arrived the same day to look at the "job", I received an estimate that evening, as promised, and he returned ON TIME the next day to install my fixtures and finish the work. His prices are more than reasonable and he is respectful of your home and needs! I would recommend him to ANYONE with electrical needs and I do plan to hire him again in the future! It is so rare to find any repairmen or handymen that deliver this level of service while being punctual and respectful for these prices!!! Thank you Tevita at Top Electrical!!"

"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."

"Rewired my whole house, put in a new breaker box and put in inset lighting in every single room. He also added lights around the exterior of the house and electric plugs.

"BJ has a reliable crew of specialists who completed the work. Leif handled the plumbing expertly and efficiently, replacing the angle stops and supply lines under both bathroom sinks and replacing supply lines and shutoff valves for the washer. Graham was equally proficient removing the old bathroom fans, revising the supporting structure, and installing the new fans. He also revised the wiring for the fans, installed new bathroom wall switches, fixed the outlet for the washer/dryer, and replaced a breaker switch in the master electrical box. BJ and Josh then took care of drywall repairs and mudding in the bathrooms. Overall, the various jobs were completed well and in a reasonable time frame."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hilo, HI

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
