GENERAC DEALER · OKOTOKS & THE FOOTHILLS
Keep the essentials running when the power goes out. Krimp Electric is a Generac dealer based in Diamond Valley, installing standby generators for homes and acreages across the Foothills.
From a well pump and furnace to a whole-home backup plan, we help you choose the right system for your property, priorities, and budget.
BACKUP POWER THAT FITS YOUR LIFE
When your power stops, the inconvenience can go well beyond the lights. Your furnace needs electricity to circulate heat. An acreage well needs power to bring water into the house. Refrigerators, freezers, sump pumps, and home offices all depend on a working electrical supply.
We start with what matters to you. Tell us what you want to keep running, what equipment you may add later, and how you use the property. We assess the electrical demand and explain the options before recommending a generator.
Krimp has worked across the Foothills since 2013. You get local advice, a clear scope of work, and a plan suited to the property.
An essential-circuit system focuses on selected loads, such as the furnace, fridge, freezer, well pump, sump pump, and a few lights and receptacles. It can be a practical choice when you want dependable backup for the necessities.
A whole-home approach can cover more of your electrical system. The generator still needs to be sized for the actual demand. Larger loads may need load management so everything does not start or run at the same time.
An EV charger, electric heat, hot tub, or workshop can change the calculation. We will explain which loads your proposed system can support and any limits you should expect during an outage.
AUTOMATIC STANDBY POWER
A permanently installed standby system pairs the outdoor generator with an automatic transfer switch. When utility power fails, the system starts the generator and transfers the backed-up circuits to generator power. When utility power returns, it transfers them back.
Home standby models use natural gas or liquid propane, depending on the equipment and available fuel supply. The right fuel arrangement is part of the installation plan.
There is a short interruption while the generator starts and the transfer takes place. A standby generator is not a substitute for a UPS where uninterrupted power is required.
01
We review your panel, the equipment you want backed up, motor starting loads, possible generator locations, and fuel availability. Acreage runs and detached buildings are part of the conversation.
02
We outline the proposed generator, transfer equipment, electrical work, and any load management. The quote identifies site preparation, fuel work, permits, and other project requirements so the responsibilities are clear.
03
We plan the electrical installation and coordinate required work with the appropriate trades. Generator placement, fuel connections, permits, and inspections must suit the selected equipment and local requirements.
04
The installation includes checking the system operation and explaining the backed-up loads, controls, and maintenance requirements. You should know what to expect before the next outage.
A rural property can have very different needs from an in-town home. Well pumps, water systems, detached shops, and long electrical runs all affect the backup plan. We assess the property as a system so the generator supports the loads you actually need.
We serve Okotoks, Diamond Valley, High River, Millarville, Bragg Creek, Priddis, De Winton, and surrounding Foothills County, with Calgary projects considered by location and scope.
Yes. Krimp Electric is a Generac dealer based in Diamond Valley, serving Okotoks and the surrounding Foothills. Contact us to discuss a standby generator for your home or acreage.
That depends on the equipment you want to run, its starting demand, and which loads may run together. Floor area or panel size alone will not give you the answer. We assess your loads and discuss essential-circuit and whole-home options.
The total depends on the generator and transfer equipment, electrical and fuel connection distances, site preparation, permit requirements, and any upgrades. Request a site-specific quote that separates equipment and installation scope.
These are common backup priorities. We check the pump and furnace electrical requirements, including starting demand, before confirming that the selected system can support them.
Not necessarily. Liquid propane may be an option where natural gas is unavailable. Equipment compatibility, tank capacity, fuel delivery, and connection requirements need to be assessed for your site.
The equipment and installation need to suit the site's operating conditions. We review cold-weather requirements for the selected model, along with snow clearance, access, and the manufacturer's maintenance guidance.
Follow the selected model's maintenance schedule and operating instructions. Regular checks and service are part of generator ownership, especially after extended use. Ask us about maintenance requirements and available support when planning your installation.
LET'S PLAN YOUR BACKUP POWER
Tell us where your property is and what you want to keep running. We will help you take the next step toward a practical backup power plan.
I am very pleased with the speed and expertise of the Krimp Electric team who installed our fluorescent lights and replace/fixed a dual light switch that had been damaged. This was our second experience with Krimp Electric. Both were an excellent service.
Krimp Electric is a perfect example of a customer-centric company. We installed solar panels and EV charger, replaced basement main panel, added garage subpanel. All those things were planned few months ahead.
When the time has come the guys were able to finish all the work within a few days. Responsive, reliable and honest service.
Kris and Levi came on very short notice, right before Christmas, to help us with some electrical work that we needed done in our home. They were fast, and efficient, and the area they worked on was spotless when they left. Personable guys. We'll be calling them for our next project. Very pleased. Thank you!
The boys at Krimp installed solar panels on my roof. They showed up on time, worked hard, and got it all installed in just a few days. They were polite and courteous. Looking forward to making back my investment. Would recommend anyone to use Krimp.
Excellent service and excellent pricing. Communications were excellent and responses to questions were quick and thorough. This is a reliable and service oriented company. We will have more work to do in future and we will be using Krimp Electric.
Krimp completed a main floor update to the lighting in my home, and replaced several switches. They provided an accurate quote, adapted the plan and supplies on-site and were pleasant to have in my home for the day. I'm really pleased with the bright new look and would have them back for any future electrical work.
We were extremely pleased with service from Krimp Electric. The workers showed up on time and did a great job on doing what we asked of them. They left the job very neat and were great to work with. We will highly recommend this company to our friends and family. Thank you , Krimp Electric.
