"I have now hired Kanon two times during the past year. Each time I was pleasantly surprised at the courtesy and professionalism they exhibited. My review is about Nick and A.J. I was a marine electrician back in the mid 1970’s so I have a fair bit of electrical knowledge. I talked with these guys about what and how they were going to do the task. I did not realize how over controlling the electrical code has become. The bottom line is that Kanon Electric is my go to electrical contractor."

I have always wanted to learn and do something about solar in Washington, I went to get trained and certified in the field. I have found another love in my industry….. free electricity using the sun! As an electrician and solar installer, we can get the project done faster and less expensive than anyone else around. Basically cutting out the middle man in both projects. We can also figure out ways to drop the usage of watts in the home by using different methods of products in the electrical industry, lowering your house bills and “ going green “. I have always had a passion for my work and take great pride in the work that I do. I have always had great and long relationships with customers, contractors and inspectors. As an electrician, I can say that I can offer just about anything under the sun…. Additional email - [email protected].

"Worst Experience I've ever had with a contractor. I'm a year after they finished and plugs are falling out of the wall when I unplug things. My basement flooded as a result of them not rewiring the plug for the sump pump to the right spot, then they plugged into the spot they WERE SUPPOSED to fix the outlet (so it didn't have a GFCI reset button on the outlet) then they incorrectly marked the new panel for how to get power back on to it. There's two outlets that haven't worked since they did their job (but they;re in a part of the house they didn't work on, so they claim they're not responsible). They failed to rewire our porch light and blamed our builders for putting a nail through a wire, that was a blatant lie. The simplest things like a smurf tube they installed they failed to install an insert with a ******* hole in it so that I could pull a wire through it. They took zero responsibility for their work, even though one of their electricians told me point blank he was going to "work faster" so he could take a vacation early. Apparently his "work faster" just meant doing a **** job. Thanks for nothing NWE&S. Do not work with them unless you want to be left holding the bag to redo most of it."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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. 

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.
