Our Story

Established in 1950 as a residential and commercial electrical contractor, Wasa Electrical Services, Inc. has grown into one of Hawaii's leading full-service electrical construction companies. Our broad range of licenses and decades of experience allow us to take on projects of varying size and complexity throughout the state.

Our preconstruction and construction teams work together from early planning through field installation and quality assurance. Engineers, project leaders, BIM specialists, field supervisors and skilled union electricians coordinate design, procurement, scheduling and execution to keep every project moving safely and efficiently.

Wasa brings this collaborative approach to Design-Build and Design-Assist projects. Our full-service capabilities include residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, government, education and civil construction, along with electric vehicle charging, battery energy storage, photovoltaic systems and resilient electrical infrastructure.

Every job is guided by proactive planning, clear communication, quality workmanship and an unwavering commitment to safety.
