HELCO More Outages than HECO

[DickWilson]

Also, if you are going to run a back-up generator, make sure either that you have a automatic transfer switch or manually disconect from HELCO during an outage. Most codes require both a automatic disconect as well as a manual disconect to protec utility workers from power being back fed into the grid. You don't want to be responsible for frying a utility wotker.
