When the power goes out, it can affect much more than your lights.
A properly designed residential backup power system can help keep essential systems operating, including:
Depending on your needs and electrical system, a generator can provide backup power for essential circuits or a larger portion of your home.
Kilowatt Electric can provide the electrical work necessary to integrate a standby generator into your home’s electrical system.
Services may include:
Not every homeowner needs to power everything in the house during an outage.
A properly sized standby generator may provide backup power to most or all of your home’s electrical system.

Another option is to prioritize the circuits that matter most.
These may include refrigeration, lighting, heating equipment, internet, security systems, well pumps and selected receptacles.
Kilowatt Electric can evaluate your electrical system and help determine the electrical configuration needed for your generator project.
The automatic transfer switch is a critical part of a standby generator system.
When utility power is interrupted, the transfer switch safely transfers the electrical load from the utility to the generator. Once utility power returns, the system transfers the home back to normal power.
Kilowatt Electric installs and wires transfer equipment to safely integrate the generator with your home’s electrical system.
Installing a standby generator can sometimes require modifications to your existing electrical service or panel.

Yes. Kilowatt Electric provides the electrical installation necessary for residential standby generator systems, including transfer equipment and related electrical-system modifications.
Generator requirements depend on the electrical loads you want backed up. The electrical system and proposed generator configuration should be evaluated before installation.
Not necessarily. Some generator projects can work with the existing electrical system, while others may require panel, service or distribution modifications.
An automatic transfer switch safely transfers the home’s electrical load from utility power to generator power during an outage and back to utility power when service is restored.
