Full Service Electrical and installation provider. If you suspect your electrical system could be damaged or malfunctioning, contact us right away. We will send a knowledgeable electrician out to identify the exact issue that is affecting your system. However, we do far more than just repairs, from LED lighting installation to electrical panel upgrade. At Kelco Electric, it's our job to make sure that all our electrical repairs are done carefully and correctly. When your electrical system is in need of repairs, it's dangerous to let the problem remain unsolved. Electrical systems are complex and interconnected, so when one component isn't working properly, the entire system is at risk. We know that your life is busy and dealing with electrical problems or upgrades isn't exactly on the top of your list. However, electrical work isn't something to be taken lightly. This is why our electricians are here to make sure you and your family are safe from electrical problems. We will always work to make sure your needs are met and all work is completed to electrical codes at reasonable prices.

"Kelco Electric did a great job. Randy and Isaiah were very professional and efficient. Arrived on time and had job finsihed within one hour. I will hire them again when I need electrical work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.
