"Karl and his team were extremely responsive and not only called me back promptly, but Karl had his crew out to my house later the same day, estimating when other jobs would be done. I have now used Kode Electric 3 times, twice for fixture installs and wiring issue and once for setting up a dedicated electrical outlet for a treadmill. They kept the area clean, removed all debris and were prompt and quick. Just like finding a good doctor or a great mechanic, finding an electrician you can trust for any level job is a blessing. I would recommend Kode electric for any of their electrical jobs. I will possibly have some exterior lighting done in warmer months(I just have to figure out what Iâ m looking for), and will absolutely call Karl and his team at Kode Electric. Very reasonably priced and while I can do basic fixture installs, jobs like my 2nd story light or exterior light which had a frayed wire, I know my limitations and called this great professional to do it at a very reasonable price(less expensive than renting an interior ladder from Home Depot, without the fear of being at a height). Highly recommend this company and the personal touch Karl gives you as well as his friendly employees."

"Contractor and client provided light fixtures installed in various locations. Some openings needed to be made to access wiring. The openings were resealed, but more rework will be needed at a later date."

"Bernie and Juan came on Sunday morning to fix my laundry room outlet that had no power (due to bad breaker) and installed a ceiling fan quickly. I appreciate their quick response to the Angi lead as I inquired for service the day before. I would definitely hire them again for electrical services. Thank you again Bernie and Juan!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.
