Generator Installation and Maintenance Services in New Port Richey, FL
Serving Greater West Central Florida
Generator installation and maintenance protect your home or business from the costly disruptions that follow a power outage.

R.J. Kielty Plumbing, Air, & Electric Inc. has been a trusted name in residential and commercial services across Greater West Central Florida since 1973. Our licensed electricians install, maintain, and repair whole-home and commercial generators with full code compliance, including gas connections, transfer switches, and all required permits and inspections. If you’ve been thinking about backup power, or you already own a generator that needs professional attention, this page covers everything you need to know about our generator services.
Generator Services Offered by R.J. Kielty in New Port Richey
Whole-Home and Commercial Generator Installation
A standby generator is only as reliable as its installation. R.J. Kielty’s licensed electricians handle every phase of the process: site evaluation, equipment sizing, concrete pad preparation, fuel line connections (natural gas or LP), code-compliant wiring, and coordination with local inspectors in Pasco County.
For commercial properties, we account for three-phase power requirements, critical load prioritization, and ADA or fire code considerations. Every installation includes a full system test to confirm the generator starts automatically and transfers power within seconds of an outage.
Preventive Generator Maintenance and Tune-Ups
A generator that sits idle for months can fail exactly when you need it most. The general industry recommendation is to service your standby generator at least once per year, twice per year if you live in a high-storm-risk area like Pasco County.
Our maintenance visits include oil and filter changes, spark plug inspection, battery testing, coolant level checks, and a full operational run under load. We also inspect fuel lines and connections for leaks or corrosion. Preventive generator maintenance extends equipment life and reduces the risk of a no-start situation during an actual outage.
Generator Repair and Troubleshooting
When your generator won’t start, throws an error code, or runs rough, R.J. Kielty’s electricians diagnose the issue quickly. Common problems we resolve include failed starters, low-oil shutdowns, fuel delivery issues, corroded battery terminals, and control board malfunctions.
We stock common replacement parts and can source OEM components for major brands like Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton. Our goal is to get your backup power system operational again as fast as possible, especially during active storm seasons.
Automatic Transfer Switch Installation and Testing
The automatic transfer switch (ATS) is the brain of your standby power system. It monitors utility power and signals the generator to start within seconds of detecting an outage. A faulty or improperly installed ATS can leave your generator running without actually powering your home.
R.J. Kielty installs and tests transfer switches as part of every new generator installation. We also replace aging or failed switches on existing systems. Each ATS installation includes a simulated outage test to verify proper operation and safe load transfer.
Generator Load Assessment and Sizing Consultation
Choosing the wrong generator size is one of the most common mistakes homeowners make. An undersized unit can overload and shut down. An oversized unit wastes fuel and money.
Our load assessment process calculates your home’s or building’s total electrical demand, identifies critical circuits (HVAC, refrigeration, medical equipment, security systems), and recommends the right kilowatt rating for your needs. We factor in future additions like EV chargers or pool equipment, so your generator investment stays relevant for years.
