Electrician in Silver Lake, Indiana
Silver Lake is in Kosciusko County.
Out here the honest question about an electrician is whether one will come at all, and we will. We have worked this county since 1981, into a second generation now, and the far end of it counts.
Farms out this way
Most of what we do around Silver Lake is farm work.
Grain systems, bins, dryers, legs and augers. Livestock buildings, ventilation and the controls that run them. Farm shops. Three-phase where the utility has it.
At McClone Electric, WE KNOW AG. Our first customers were farmers, and out this way they still are. The full version is on the agriculture page.
Standby generators
Out at the far end of the county, when the power goes out it is not always back in an hour. For a house with a well and a furnace, or a farm with animals and a building that has to stay at a temperature, that is the difference between an inconvenience and a problem.
We install standby generators on propane, natural gas or diesel, whichever suits the farm or house and what is already on site, with an automatic transfer switch, so it starts on its own. Nobody has to be home, and nobody has to be dragging a cord out in the dark.
Sizing is the honest part of the conversation. There is a real difference between a generator that carries the whole place and one that carries what actually matters, and it is worth deciding that on purpose rather than finding out in February.
Shops and pole barns
Out here a lot of the work is a building with nothing in it yet.
One we did in Silver Lake was a service shop: LED high bays the length of the ceiling so you can actually see what you are working on, conduit run to every fixture, receptacles where you need them rather than where they were easy, heaters, and the overhead door operators wired in.
That is the shape of most of these jobs: sub-panel, a heater so the building is usable in January, an outlet for the camper, outlets around the walls at working height.
We trench the wire in out to the building, and out this way the run from the house to the shop is usually longer than people expect, which changes what size wire goes in it.
That has its own page: pole barn wiring.
Houses
The dead outlet and the breaker that will not stay in. Service upgrades and panel change-outs. Lighting, ceiling fans, outdoor lighting.
Nothing is too big or too small. See residential.
When it cannot wait
Power out. A storm took the service off the side of the building.
Out at this end of the county the phone gets answered the same as anywhere else, and it has been since 1981. Emergency electrician.
