Welcome to Camera Kings! We take pride in the quality of work and customer satisfaction that we give each customer!

"Got the company Camera Kings off this website based on reviews. Thus I feel that in order to help someone else - I also need to leave a review. Camera Kings (Shaun) contacted me and we set up a date/time to come out and view what needed to be completed. One day to view the project and one day to install. The gentleman that actually came to the house was Brian, and he was very professional and knowledgeable in his workmanship. He installed (hard-wired) two RING flood light cameras on my home in less than 3 hours. When I checked his work in the attic -- it looked as if the house was built with that security feature. He went up that ladder numerous times to adjust the camera angle and ensure the surveillance area was exactly what I wanted to see. He took the time to ensure everything worked properly before he left. Very good!! Top of the line!! Highly recommend this company to anyone that needs security camera work done on their home."

Whether it's your favorite restaurant, or a professional electrician in your home, the way you are treated decides more than anything else if you will come back or not. That's why when we're in your home, you're not a customer to us, you're family. We treat others as we would like to be treated, so when it comes to value we want to give you the best bang for your buck. We strive to be YOUR trusted electrician, the one you call on from time to time, not "that electrician that took advantage of us". We guarantee all of our work for at least a year, so if anything goes wrong you can call us day or night, and we will make it right. We are reliable as the rising sun and will strive to be up front and honest every time... because if you can't trust someone to show up on time, how can you trust them to work on your home.

"They make life easy and projects exceptional. Grateful to have them in Lexington, SC! We worked with Palmetto Renovations from fall of 2023 through February of this year and we should have connected with their design specialty showroom and staff years ago as our home has never looked better. Our kitchen finally features real stone quartzite with a blend of stunning LVP waterproof flooring, elegant tiled backsplash and an entirely new lighting system from chandeliers to the under cabinet lighting. They replaced a window in the bay area to match the exterior clad. All trim was stained and by the time things were wrapped up, there were no imperfections to even address. It was an experience to brag about."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

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.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
