Recommended Customer Reviews

We were having issues with our stove. The electrician I spoke with over the phone offered great advice about issues that a lot of stoves have that can be fixed without a technician showing up. We ended up following his advice which solved our issue. Saving us money as we didn't need to have a technician come out. Amazing customer service, I wish I could do more than just leave a positive review. Will be using them for all electrical needs in the future.

Issac was great, he provided an estimate in a timely manner. I Chose to go in a different direction. Issac's estimate was much more affordable. Less panels and using Generac batteries. In the end I didn't want micro inverters and went with Sunpower panels.

Walter's Electric is amazing. We needed a fairly big job done. They came in to do an assessment, and right away scheduled to do the work ASAP. Everyone, from the workers to the owners, were very efficient, friendly, and very well coordinated. We couldn't be more pleased with the work they have done in such a short time, especially during the pandemic. They are highly recommended!

I am sorry it took 4 years to post a review. We purchased our Photovoltaic System from Kaimi Chung. He was most professional, very knowledgeable and answered our questions and concerns patiently. La'akea's electrical crew were friendly and professional. They did a great job with installation.
With the recent storms, blackouts etc. We had a problem with our PV system communicating to our internet. Called David (La'akea Elec.) and he so patiently walked me through the PV/communication process step by step. It took about an hour and David stayed with me on the phone till it was done.
Called David back after about another hour and our system was ""communicating!"" Success!
SO 4 years later it is wonderful to know that La'akea is still with us and was able to solve our issues! I would not hesitate to hire them for our every electrical needs!!

I recently hired Walters to rewire my old 1940s home. The house was a mess when I purchased it and nothing was safe or working well. I got bids from another company, but once I met Kaimi he immediately seemed much more knowledgeable and competent. His bid was also slightly lower. The entire process was fantastic--the estimate was detailed, the crew showed up when they were supposed to and did excellent work. This company was a pleasure to do business with and I will not hesitate to hire them again in the future. This was a very expensive purchase for me, and I am very pleased with how things turned out.

We needed electrical work done in conjunction with a new air conditioning system. Water's Electric, Hilo performed the electrical work. From the start, Walter's Electric was responsive, Kaimi's follow through was excellent; onsite electricians, Isaac and Jarod were great. I would recommend Walter's Electric to anyone in need of an electrical contractor. Their website is also very well done. Check it out. Kathryn & Jim K

I called them on the Monday after Christmas - when we had blown a fuse and they sent someone out that afternoon and repaired the issues promptly, professionally, courteously and efficiently. I was impressed.

Walter's Electric is an awesome resource for all your electrical and solar needs! They installed my PV panels back in 2012 and I have been enjoying paying minimal payments to Helco ever since! Kaimi is very reliable and a man of his word. He and his crew are able to knock out any project you need and Kaimi will make sure the job is done correctly.

Great response time and even better pricing! Will definitely be calling them for all of our condo needs.

We were impressed with Grant's knowledge of PV systems and were confident we were making the right decision with the company. Grant made the process of getting our system installed easy. He followed-through with an expected timeline, kept us informed of HECO delays, gave tips for HECO's approval process, and was on-site on the day of installation. He also took time to make sure dead wires on our home were eliminated, and the monitoring system would be working... that made me so HAPPY! We made the right decision! It took a year, but it happened because of Grant's excellent customer service. The staff on-site and in the office are all helpful too! Thank you so very much!
