Generator Hookups in Kirkland: what's different here
Houghton, Juanita and Finn Hill still have original and fuse-based panels in many mid-century homes. Wind storms knock out power in older, tree-lined Kirkland neighborhoods like Houghton. We install standby generators and portable-generator interlocks so you can run power safely.
Permits and inspections
A transfer switch or generator inlet is permitted electrical work. Kirkland runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through the City of Kirkland rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
Utilities
Electric service in Kirkland is provided by PSE. For panel, meter and service work we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with the utility for you.
