DK Electrical Solutions proven team will keep your home or business up and running even in inclement weather and when mother nature wants to shut you down.

What is a Backup Power Generator?

With a generator, you can provide a source of electricity in an emergency. Generators create mechanical energy and have a rechargeable batteries. A fuel tank holds diesel, gasoline, or natural gas to power the generator. An engine and alternator convert the mechanical power of the residential backup generator into electrical power for your home.

If you have a generator already, proper maintenance ensures that it remains in working order when you need it the most. If you don’t have a generator, invest in a standby generator so that you never have to experience a day without electricity. If your area’s electrical supply goes down, a residential generator provides backup power to your essential systems.

Why Kohler?

Frequently Asked Questions About Generator Installation

Do you need an electrician to install a generator?

Installing larger generators, especially whole home generators designed to power multiple systems in a house during an electrical outage, requires a licensed electrician. Professional installation is necessary to avoid inadvertently voiding your warranty for the generator due to errors. Having your generator Installation performed by a licensed master electrician also ensures proper connections and safe operation of your generator.

What size generator do I need for my home?

If you plan to power your entire house with a whole home generator, you will need enough wattage to supply multiple major electrical appliances. A large, high-quality, dual-fuel 10,000-watt generator is a good option for many homes.
If you want a generator for your travel trailer, a 3,000-watt inverter generator can probably power everything you want to use, including the air conditioner, refrigerator, TV, lights, and more.
We will help you calculate the generator wattage to get a general estimate of how much wattage you need for your home or recreational purposes.

How much does it cost to install a generator?

The cost of a large generator for emergency home power use varies widely, depending upon the type and size of the generator. Generator installation costs also vary, depending on the location of the generator, the amount of electrical wiring needed, and other factors, plus any annual maintenance and repair allowances that may be included.
On a monthly basis, depending on the current price for natural gas, the cost to run your emergency generator in exercise mode should only cost a few dollars per month. Running the generator during power outages, at a 50% load can be expected to cost about $20-$30 per day for gas. This is, of course, much less than the price of renting a hotel room or replacing ruined food, and much more convenient!

How loud is the generator?

Air-cooled generators emit a noise volume of approximately 66 decibels at a distance of around 20 feet. This means that you can carry on a typical conversation between a couple of people at normal speaking volume while standing beside an air-cooled generator that is running. Today’s state-of-the-art large generators are designed for use in residential neighborhoods. Generator installation must be properly performed to ensure safety and optimum performance.

Do I need to have my gas meter upgraded?

You may need to have your gas meter upgraded to accommodate a large whole-house generator. Part of having a generator installed by a DK master electrician is a site survey that includes a Gas Inventory Report. After recording the model of your present gas meter, an inventory will be taken of all gas-fueled appliances in your home. Typically, when a gas meter upgrade is required by the local gas company, the process is simple and only minimal cost is charged to the homeowner.

Do I need a building permit to install a generator in New Jersey?

A building permit will probably be required to install a generator at your New Jersey home. Our DK master electrician will coordinate with the building department for your municipality to determine the correct interpretation of the local building code for your particular jurisdiction. Often, our master electricians have already completed generator installations in the area and are therefore already familiar with your Building Inspector’s requirements.
We will obtain all necessary state and local permits as well as HOA approvals if needed. We will attend any variance meetings with your HOA, if necessary. Everything involved in your generator installation, from the quote to the completion of the project will be handled for you by our master electrician.

How long will my new generator last?

The average lifespan of an emergency power generator is about 15 years operating in typical standby conditions. Like any other kind of machine, the generator will age and may need maintenance as it nears the end of its life expectancy.
Note that air-cooled emergency power generators are not intended for use as continuous power sources around the clock 365 days per year. However, your DK master electricians can design the right solution to power off-grid homes. We can also design an application to operate with existing solar PV arrays and battery banks, where solar equipment manufacturer and installer warranties permit.

We have used DK Electrical Solutions for everything from installing a whole house generator to installing a dedicated line for my glass art kiln. Most recently, Brendan and George installed a new timer and switch on my pool. They arrived on time, and when they discovered the pool needed a new timer, they went right out and got one to finish the job. DK is professional from start to finish. I highly recommend DK Electrical Solutions!

Brendan and George were fantastic. They arrived as scheduled and gave me a very detailed estimate for the repairs I needed. The estimate was within my budget and they were able to do the repairs immediately. Very professional! I will definitely use them again and will recommend them to my friends and family.

Joseph Gardner

Brendan and Garret were prompt, professional and easy to work with. We had 4 outlets that didn’t work properly and needed their help. They explained it could be due to many issues or factors but they got to work and found and fixed the cause in less than 2 hours. Highly recommend!

I can't speak highly enough about Brendan Kuchinka from DK Electrical Solutions. He came out to install a ceiling fan and was super professional, on-time, courteous and reliable. A week later, the fan was making some weird noises. So, Brendan came back out with his assistant Jarred. This time, they had to take the whole fan apart to discover that the electrical box that was originally installed in our home when it was built was barely screwed into the truss, hence causing the fan to be misaligned and making noise. To make it work correctly, he had to reinstall the electrical box correctly and then put the entire fan back together. Before they left, they called me in to check it out and make sure I was satisfied - which I was! I am so grateful for this experience and I would definitely call DK and ask for Brendan for any electrical needs going forward.

Allison Altobelli

18:55 04 May 23

Hands down the best electrical company I have ever used. From the initial phone call through the completed electrical work, the customer service of Kimberly at the office, the quality of work done by Brendan and Jarred was amazing. After so many horrible experiences in the past, it was a pleasure working with them. I am so happy with the beautiful work and highly recommend. Save your time and don't look elsewhere! 🙂

I was VERY pleased with the services provided by DK Electrical Solutions. Brendan installed a light fixture in a walk-in closet, and repaired 2 ceiling fans. He explained to me what needed to be done in a way that made it easy for me to understand. He also went over the price for each service, and gave me a price, upfront, for the completed job. The price was fair.Brendan was very knowledgeable, explaining his findings and corrections/actions taken as he completed the repairs.All in all ... a positive and pleasant experience. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use their services in the future. Thank you Brendan !

DK Electric just installed all new lighting in our basement. He was on time and did a fantastic job. The lighting looks great and it improves the look of our basement. I would highly recommend them for any electrical work.

Dennis Laynor

14:55 02 May 23

We initially called DK Electrical to come out and fix some outlets in our new house that weren't generating any power. Brendan came out the same week, and we realized he could also help us install some new outlets that would help hide the wires for our mounting TVs. He was very professional and informative, explaining to us in layman's terms everything he needed to do, and quoted us a fair price for the jobs. He came back a week later and completed everything quickly and efficiently.As a bonus, Kimmy from the main office was a delight to speak with on the phone. She called with updates to confirm our appointments and also to let us know whenever Brendan was on his way.I would 100% recommend DK Electrial Solutions to anyone looking for electrical work in South Jersey.

Daniel Podheiser

15:11 01 May 23

Brendan came out to give us an estimate and we appreciated his honesty and professionalism. After receiving several estimates, we chose to have our attic fan installed by DK Electric. Their prices were competitive and fair compared to some others. But their warranty on parts and labor was what really sold us. They were very accommodating, working around our busy schedule. Brendan came back with his crew to perform the installation. They were on-time, professional, completed the job within the expected time-frame, and cleaned up the work space in the attic before leaving. We were very pleased with the quality of the recommended parts and service we received, from start to finish. We have already recommended DK Electric to some of our neighbors.

They were very responsive, came to the house quickly, gave honest feedback about what work actually needed to be done instead of trying to just make more money, and they were made sure to take extra care in being respectful of my home. I definitely plan to use them again in the future and share them with anyone I know who's looking for a great electrician.

This is the first time that I have used your business. Your representative, Barry came to my home to repair my timer switch for the outside light. He explained everything to me so that I could understand what he would need to do. He was friendly, professional and got everything done in under an hour! The price was within my budget too! I am so pleased - and Barry should be cloned! Thank you so much, especially, for arranging the schedule the day before Thanksgiving - I really appreciate you!!

Jeff was on time, professional and great to talk to. He installed a bathroom exhaust fan/light. Glad i didn't attempt this job on My own, since the old fan had a 3" exhaust tube and the new prodyct i purchased had a 4". So jeff went to Lowes and bought the adapter and then installed it properly. Clean up was done promptly as well. I would highly reccomend DK Electrical Solutions to anybidy needing any type of electrical work or installations.

Overall a great experience!

I was very happy with DK Electrical Solutions. Brendan and his helper came to my house and gave me a quote for the work I needed done and to my surprise Brendan and his helper were the guys that did the work! They replaced my panel, added a generator outlet and interlock kit, ran a homerun for my microwave, separated some circuits, repaired flying splices , replaced connections, secured loose junction boxes and rewired switches in three rooms. The guys did a great job and I couldnt be happier.

Robert Parke

21:30 28 Apr 22

Very knowledgeable, honest and friendly from the first meeting. The Techs were considerate and efficient. They cleaned up after themselves. And they did clean work all around. Will definitely use again.

Highly recommend this company. From first call to final install I have no complaint. Responded to voicemail fast and set up appointment for a quote. Price was in the range I expected. The work was actually better than I expected. New panel fully and clearly labeled, conduit ran out of the way and right into corners, car charger in perfect location. As a diy guy that’s kinda thrifty (cheap) I’m extra thrilled about the whole experience. No buyers remorse here! Thanks Barry, Derek, great lady in the office and helpers whose names I can’t remember (sorry)!

From the initial appointment, Barry was a great representative of the company. He assessed my situation and was able to recommend a product that would fit my needs and be used for years to come.On the initial install day I was called first thing in the morning re:concerns about the wind and their inability to install. I appreciated this as I would not want anyone to be hurt installing lighting for my home (and I believe there was an actual tornado that night).The next week they came promptly 8 am and finished the install by 10:30. The team was very professional and respectful of my home. I’m so excited to finally have this outside lighting!!! If I have any other electrical needs, I will be contacting them first.

Jeff was the third electrician to look at two electric problems in my home.The first two could not find the problem. But Jeff was enthusiastic and took the time to identify and repair the problems. Not only did he do a terrific job but he is an extremely pleasant and professional technician. He explained exactly what was broken, what was needed to fix it and performed the services for a fair price. I will not hesitate to call DK Electrical Solutions for other electrical repairs and recommend them highly to anyone seeking these services.

Jeff from DK Electrical Solutions did a great job providing the services that we requested. Jeff did such a great job that we found more work for him to come back to perform. Jeff and Dillion returned a second time to install decorative light switches for our living room lights and ceiling fan. They found that the previous owners did not install the ceiling fan to code. They corrected the issue, which could have become a major problem. We will definitely use DK Electrical Solutions and Jeff for any future electrical work we might need, and will not hesitate to recommend them to our family and friends.

I have used almost every handyman and electrical contractor in Cherry Hill for the past 20 years and they were all OK, one or two maybe a little drunk, but I finally found DK Electrical Solutions. What a difference, for the same amount of money. Which is great, I like to get my money's worth, no more, no less. Brendan and Dylan were excellent in completing the job in a timely and professional manner. I am very pleased that they installed the correct size fan in my attic, and explained to me how they developed their experienced, expert opinion, after the 5 or 6 fans that were not installed or sized properly over the years. I will be calling DK up this week as soon as my 4 new ceiling fans arrive, to install for me. What a relief, Thanks Brendan, Dylan and DK Electrical Solutions. Scott Saline
