they were very professional & polite. However, I realize i can wait on an electrical inspection/ or outlet replacements. Got 2 other bigger problems read more

Forest came out to help with my switches. I try to do everything myself but I couldn't figure it out this time. He was super friendly and easy to talk to. While he was there we got our under cabinet lights rewired to work from one switch, something I wish the previous owners did when they remodeled the kitchen. It was something Forest thought of and it turned out to be great idea because now we actually use them. Price I thought was very fair. Would definitely use him again, refer him to others and he'll be my very first call to make when I need electrical work done. Mahalo! read more

Forrest and Hale Kai have done a few projects for us now, including installing new recessed lighting and a new outdoor electrical panel. Very honest and trustworthy and we have always been happy with the work done! Great value. read more

Forrest and Hale Kai were very friendly and helpful. They went over the scope of work with me for the under-cabinet light installation that I initially wanted. After giving me other options I decided to go with a less intrusive and cheaper option which turned out really nice. Very trustworthy and honest. read more

Very happy with the quality and service! Dan was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Quote was fair and the work was completed the same day. We would definitely work with Hale Kai Electric again in future. Thank you! read more

I needed a few ceiling fans installed (no attic above) and a whole bunch of other small electrical repairs done at my very old house. Forrest and Dan did a great job with everything. They figured out how to get around some of the strange things about my house. Highly recommend. read more

Just an update, as we hired Forrest again to do an electrical inspection of our home to ensure safety. As before, outstanding on every level. Excellent value. He explained things to us very clearly and did a thorough job. Highly recommend Hale Kai Electric! read more

Forrest and Dan did an absolutely great job. They are conscientious making sure everything is done as I wanted. Answered quickly when first contacted. The work was done quickly and cost reasonable. They are now my go to electricians from now on. read more

My absolute highest recommendation to Hale Kai Electric for any home electrical issue. They were responsive, timely, and did a great job. Left my place with everything working and everything clean. No haggling about price. I really feel like I got my money's worth with Hale Kai. Thankful for their professional and friendly help!!! read more

Forest and Dan installed the fans. They worked fast and neat. Both were easy to talk to and the cost was very reasonable. If I need to do more electrical jobs, Hale Kai Electric will be my first choice. read more

We first called Forrest to add a 240v connector for our EV, and were blown away by his speed, quality, value, and good cheer. We've done many projects with Hale Kai since then, both inside and outside our house, and wouldn't dream of using anyone else. Every time they come, my wife and I comment to each other how nice it is to have them around. How often do you say THAT about any of the service folks who come to your house? Highly recommended! read more

Sometimes you have to leave it to the PROS. My husband is pretty handy around the home and he wanted to fix some lights that were flickering on after the light switch was turned off, and it was going on for years, well he managed to blow out some fuses when he wired stuff backwards and at that point he said we needed some electricians to come out. One nifty feature about Yelp is the ability to send out a message to a bunch of businesses at the same time, and we decided to go with Hale Kai due to their response time and ability to fit us in sooner than later, even if it was not an emergency situation. While the repair was going on, I asked Forrest if it was possible to install another outlet outside because I love to decorate outdoors for Halloween and wanted to hook up a bunch of lights. I was expecting him to say that it would be impossible but he managed to find a way AND also find another problem we didn't know existed - a very dangerous problem that was left over from our old A/C installer who had not sealed the boxes securely, and water was leaking into our electrical panel! It was a win-win all around: we got our electrical problem fixed and I got another outlet outside...YES!!! Plus the price was fair and Forrest and Dan did an amazing job (and potentially stopped a DISASTER from happening). They were great at communicating, cleaned up after themselves, reliable, professional and friendly and got the job done and fixed the problems and then some! I would not hesitate to recommend these guys 100% again to anyone who needs electrical work done. read more

Called this morning and Forrest got back to me super fast with both a quote and expected time to come out. They arrived and were super friendly and worked quick. Super helpful and very well priced. I will definitely be reaching out in the future for house upgrades. read more

Personable and Professional! Contacted Forrest at Hale Kai regarding replacing a lighting fixture in the garage and a fan switch in a bathroom. Since it appeared to be a quick job, he actually inquired if there was additional electrical work I needed to get full value from the service call. Unheard of these days, but very welcome news for my wallet! This company has a genuine concern for the customer by ensuring you're not paying more than you have to, timely updates and a very meticulous approach to completing each task. When the job is done, they take the time to restore the work areas to their original condition. With a few minutes to spare, Forrest and Kethan (hope I got the name right) brought new life to a floor lamp I thought was beyond resuscitation. Totally appreciated this unexpected gesture which goes far and beyond customer service. read more

I initially did a Yelp request for quotes to have a ceiling fan with light installed. I chose Hale Kai due to their quick reply, awesome quote and offer if I needed another fan installed, since their service call was for 2 hours. I didn't need another fan, but I had three outlets that weren't working. I had another electrician come out, whom couldn't figure out the problem and charged me $400 and gave me a quote for $1100 to come back with another electrician to attempt to fix the issue. I asked Hale Kai to check out the outlets, if they had extra time. Not only did they install the fan, but they fixed the issues with the outlets. I was floored how quickly the issue was resolved. I would have saved a lot of money, had I contacted Hale Kai first. If you need electrical help, don't bother looking any further than this company. They are fast, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. read more

We needed someone to install a few outlets in our garage and contacted multiple people. Hale Kai got back to us and set up a day to come and give us an estimate. They were even able to complete the job same day if we approved the estimate. They were the most affordable option for us and it was extremely convinient that they were able to complete the job same day. They quoted us three hours, and finished in under 2. The outlets look super professional and are exactly where we wanted them. Would highly recommend! read more

A very overdue review for the amazing service with Hale Kai Electric last year. Forrest and team responded to my request very quickly and were able to help us with a very dangerous electrical situation at our home (caused by shoddy electrical work done during a home renovation). They even went out of their way a second time to help when we continued to have problems. Amazing service - they are knowledgeable and good at what they do. read more

Needed someone to install a Ring doorbell and replace two Ring floodlights... The original guy that installed the floodlights was too busy for the job. Texted a couple of electricians with high ratings on Yelp - one guy said "We don't do Ring" ‍ Texted Hale Kai Electric and got a response from Forrest right away. Within days, him and Dan came out, installed all of my Ring devices AND was able to install LED replacements for my ancient fluorescent ballasts. Nice guys, good work, reasonable price - highly recommend. read more

Outstanding service. Forrest was prompt, clear to explain what was needed for our project and had it completed quicker than he quoted. So impressed. Highly recommend Hale Kai Electric! read more

I recently sent a request to Yelp for some help replacing rusted conduit that was located outside the house. I had several great responses from electrical companies and decided to go with Hale Kai Electric owned by Forrest K. He arrived right on time and was very cordial and friendly. He gave me a fair estimate so I had him and his coworker Ben (or was it Dan?) do the work. They worked really fast and even replaced some of the wiring and connectors because Forrest said they looked weathered and needed to be changed out at no extra cost. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use the in the future. The homeowner will be greatly satisfied when he returns and sees everything repaired and looking great. read more

Wow, I definitely found my go to electrician! Had problems with a ceiling fan installation late Saturday, and put out requests to 3 different companies Sunday morning that advertise 24 hour or 7 day a week service One never answered, another declined, but so grateful that Forest called and was willing to come and help me, even though he was planning on spending the day with his wife and kids since he had no other calls. He came at 9:30, took an hour or so, and was so professional and friendly. Of course Sundays at the last minute will cost more than normal weekdays, but I thought his price was fair. Most of all, it was so much more valuable to me because I really needed it done before the work week, and Forest has such a great, friendly personality! Thank you, Forest! read more

Forrest and Dan did an excellent job installing seven ceiling fans in our Kanoehe home. This was a big job with 20 foot cathedral ceilings. They worked efficiently and had to do a lot of trouble shooting with the electrical wiring in our old home. They are very smart! I had them come back out again to install a light fixture. Again, very pleased with the quality of their work. They go above and beyond to get things right and make sure you are satisfied. Reliable, clear communication, highly recommend. Mahalo Hale Kai Electric. read more

They did such great work on helping me fix up the ohana unit. They flipped and replaced my electrical panel so it's not so close to where the new sink will be. (A safety issue they pointed out.) They also installed an exterior washer/dryer outlet, garbage disposal outlet and made such precise cuts that I don't have to repair the exterior wall at all. They're nice, honest guys, would definitely use them again!! read more

If you need a good electrician and you have no idea where to start, you HAVE to call Forrest at Hale Kai! He responded within minutes to my text and we set up an appointment that day. Even though they were in Ewa, they drove to Nalo no issues. He is so positive and was able immediately assess the issue and him and his co-worker went to work. Long story short, he fixed the breaker issue we had that was connected to our living room and bedroom. Forrest was so proactive and positive. It helped ease my anxiety that the issue would be worse. They got everything squared away in time for us to enjoy our son's birthday Thank you Forrest, our family is forever grateful and will call you again! read more

Quick response, showed up on time and gave a reasonable estimate. Needed a couple outlets and a floodlight/camera installed. They were able to complete the job sooner than expected and left everything clean and neat. Would definitely hire these guys again for future work. read more

Respectable and Friendly with my 3 year old and my home/ property. read more

Easy communications to discuss and schedule, prompt arrival, and friendly discussion of the pro/con and estimate of doing various electrical work. They completed their work quickly and even though they may have discovered some setbacks in the attic that took a little more time, they stayed until it was completed and retained their quoted price. They even helped with a couple of minor things and didn't nickel and dime everything. Scheduling was not very difficult too. I would recommend you give them a call for an estimate! read more

Contacted Hale Kai and was initially concerned about their travel time, since they are based in Hauula, but their owner, Forest Yard said not an issue since they do work all acrosss Oahu. They were prompt, easy to work with for some routine repairs and completed the tasks promptly. Their rate is also very reasonable and licensed as electricians. read more

Forrest came out to replace an electrical box and install a GFCI outlet. Great work, very professional. Thank you!

Forrest goes the whole nine Yards! Forrest is everything you want in an electrician; honest, professional, reliable, kind, skilled, responsive, and punctual. So far two projects are done - smart doorbell installation, fixed a couple of outlets, smoke detector (removal & replacement), replaced floodlight, removed other unnecessary wires, etc. We have a third project scheduled which will be the biggest; really interested to see how that turns out. Commercial or residential, big or small, I'm sure Forrest can do it all! read more

Forrest and the crew are top notch!! They'll do everything possible to get the job done right and satisfy you! It's like old school values ! Take care of you no matter what !! They got a customer for life!thank you so much!! read more

We are very happy that we decided to go with Forrest with Hale Kai Electric. He responded almost immediately when I requested a quote and his reply was very professional. He and his partner took care of the electrical problems around the house. Both were very pleasant to work with and Forrest explained what he needed to do and why. Thank you Hale Kai Electric, now our lights won't flicker, our outlets work and replacing the light switches. read more

I came upon Forrest Yard by luck...through YELP I asked for estimates and Yelp chooses WHO to sent the inquiry TO, I had no say...it was disappointing when the first two electrician companies said they don't do what I wanted...huh, looked like they were looking for the large $$ jobs ! Then Forrest responded that he could do those items that I wanted done. Had just bought a condo in Waipahu and one of the results of the home inspection service during escrow was that one of the breaker panel switches were 'double tapped' meaning that one wire was not mean to be inserted with another wire, but likely when the building was built, the electrician was lazy to add another breaker switch. I told Forrest if he could repair the electrical wiring connected to the garbage disposal as whoever had installed the disposal did a 'hatchet' job workmanship-wise. It was badly spliced and connected with wire nuts and lazily wrapped in electrical tape along with not having a strain relief collar/stress clamp on the underside of the disposal itself. He said a quote that kinda floored me (I was expecting to pay more). He then said he can do an electrical survey for an additional amount since home inspectors are known to miss things (tell me about it..I wonder why the home inspector thought nothing of the electrical wiring to the garbage disposal? I said to please go ahead with that too. Scheduled for mid afternoon yesterday, he showed up...upon looking at my unit, he said he will change his estimate and it would be less (how NICE that an ELECTRICIAN will reduce their cost upon coming in person and now seeing the contents with what he/she is faced with.. I was floored AGAIN ! While he was doing that, I thought of two other things I asked him to do on a whim...one was if he could do something about placing an outlet inside the open upper cabinetry above the stove where I wanted to put my microwave oven..no problem, he could cut into the drywall and put a new outlet where there was none...I asked if he could do anything with the 240v electrical line for the range that was just lying practically completely on the floor as it was not attached to the back wall.. He said he could cut into the drywall and mount it flush.. I said YES ! He told me he'd have to go to a nearby home improvement store to buy additional parts and said he'd be gone at least 30 minutes (which of course it did take more than that since this was a Saturday). Upon completing all the work (which was practically 3 hours), he finished with all the work that I wanted and more that I requested on the spot. He was REALLY enjoyable to talk to.. other electricians I've in the past were there for the task and did no talking. I was shocked at the price --- lower than I would have imagined ! He then wrote out his invoice on his smart phone and I was ready to give him my credit card. He said he doesn't take payments to avoid the hassles and sent me an email to which I pay a secured third party company to pay the invoice. Within 3 minutes I paid off that invoice...through that email from Forrest with that link. Several times during his work in my unit he asked if there was anything else I wanted done, but those two other items were all that I needed from him. A true honest electrician that did NOT nickle and dime their customer. Though he is based out in Hauula, he goes everywhere ! I am glad to have had him do my electrical work...I will GLADLY recommend him to my friends and co-workers and of course use him again if needed...! Forrest, if you read this...you deserve this five star ***** rating ! read more
