They are so awesome, Miri was the technician. They came to my house the next day and figured out what was shorting the wire. Less than 45 minutes, fixed ! I used them a few years ago for a dead outlet and they fixed that in 10 minutes. Very professional.

I did some digging, and narrowed my choices down to 3 companies. Golden was the most knowledgeable of the bunch. Affordable and available, they scheduled my project quickly. Miri and JJ were great - on time, faster than expected, and no surprise costs. I will definitely be using them for my next project.

I had a great experience with this electrician. They responded quickly, showed up exactly when they said they would, and got straight to work without any hassle. It’s rare to find someone who respects your time this much, and it really made the whole process stress-free.

They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what they were doing in a way that actually made sense. Everything was completed efficiently and with attention to detail, and the quality of the work was excellent.

If you’re looking for someone reliable, punctual, and easy to work with, I would absolutely recommend them. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again for any future electrical work.

I recently hired Golden Electrical Services to install outdoor landscaping lights, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and incredibly well executed. They took the time to understand the look I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure every fixture was placed perfectly to highlight the landscaping. The quality of their work really shows, my yard looks beautiful at night, and the lighting feels both elegant and functional. Miri was a pleasure to work with. I’ll definitely be using them for future projects!

They also answered all of my elementary questions, which is super helpful for a non-electrician such as myself. We’ll keep Golden Electric Service on speed dial for us, friends, and family.

I called for an electrical emergency at my business on a weekend and getting an emergency appointment was quick and easy. The 2 technicians who arrived were professional and friendly and were able to fix the problem in under 2 minutes. I expected to be charged a premium for a Sunday call, but instead they said there was zero charge for the call since it was a quick and easy fix for them. Glad I found this company and will be using their services for all my future electric work.

For Jenkintown residents, losing power during storms or grid issues is more than a hassle. It can disrupt daily life and safety. With Pennsylvania winters and occasional summer storms, reliable backup power is essential. At Golden Electrical Service, we’ve installed dozens of residential generators across areas like Huntingdon Valley and Somerton, helping homeowners stay powered no matter what. We’ll guide you through why a backup generator matters, how to choose and install one, and maintain it for years of dependable use.

Why Backup Power Matters For Jenkintown Homeowners

Jenkintown‘s mix of older homes means the wiring sometimes struggles under today’s energy demands, and PECO outages are a known issue in this area. Winters often bring heavy snow and ice, causing power flickers or outages that affect heating and security systems. That’s why having a reliable backup generator isn’t just a convenience, it’s peace of mind. It keeps heat running, preserves food, and maintains lighting during unexpected blackouts. We understand these local challenges and design setups to fit your home’s unique needs here in Jenkintown.

Popular Generator Types For Residential Properties

Backup power looks different for every home in Jenkintown, depending on lifestyle and power needs. Many homeowners prioritize systems that work instantly during storms or evening outages. These are the generator types most often chosen for residential properties in Jenkintown:

• Whole-house standby generators: Full coverage systems that start immediately and keep your home running without manual effort.
• Portable generators: Budget-friendly options suited for limited power and short outages.

Safety Benefits Of Professional Generator Installation

Trying a DIY installation may lead to hazards like backfeeding electricity, which puts utility workers and neighbors at risk. Our licensed electricians make sure your generator is wired correctly, with transfer switches installed to separate backup power from the grid safely. This means no accidental feedback or tripped breakers once the generator kicks in. In Jenkintown, adherence to local codes and regulations ensures permits are properly pulled and inspections passed, protecting your home and investment. We prioritize safety every step of the way, so you don’t have to worry when the lights go out.

Key Factors To Consider Before Generator Installation

Power requirements and generator capacity

Choosing the right size generator depends on which appliances and systems you want powered during an outage. Larger old homes may require 20kW or more to keep essential systems running. We help conduct load assessments tailored to your specific energy use.

Fuel source and installation location

Fuel choice affects both operating cost and convenience. Locating the generator close to natural gas lines or propane tanks streamlines installation, but space and noise considerations must also be weighed. We know Jenkintown‘s zoning rules and typical lot layouts to find the best spot.

Permits, costs, and long-term upkeep

Installing a generator requires permits from local authorities, and we handle this for you to avoid delays. Upfront costs vary based on generator type, capacity, and site conditions. We also discuss long-term maintenance needs so you understand what it takes to keep your unit reliable year after year.

How To Pick The Right Jenkintown Generator Installation Service

Experience with local electrical codes and utility standards is key. We recommend choosing an installer who understands PECO‘s requirements and Jenkintown-specific regulations to ensure smooth approval. Look for teams with strong reviews, quick response times, and clear communication. Our 200+ five-star reviews reflect our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. We prioritize safety and reliability, offering personal consultations to help you make informed decisions rather than pushing one-size-fits-all solutions.

Installing A Generator: Step-By-Step Process

1. Site Assessment and Permitting: We start by inspecting your property to assess location, wiring, and fuel options. Next, we pull all necessary permits from Jenkintown zoning and electrical departments.
2. Electrical Connection and Transfer Switch Setup: Installing a transfer switch is crucial. It safely separates your home’s electrical circuits from the grid when the generator is running, preventing backfeed. We connect your main panel to the generator to power selected circuits.
3. Installation Safety and Code Compliance: Every installation follows National Electrical Code standards plus local amendments. We ensure your system passes inspections and meets Jenkintown‘s noise and placement regulations for peace of mind and long-term reliability.

What Maintenance Steps To Take After Generator Installation

Routine maintenance extends your generator’s lifespan. Change oil and filters regularly, usually twice a year, especially after winter storms common in the Philadelphia region. Run monthly test exercises to ensure readiness. This also prevents fuel from stagnating. Keep the area around your generator clear to avoid debris buildup. We offer maintenance packages tailored to Jenkintown homes, including seasonal checkups and timely repairs, so you’re never left powerless unexpectedly.
