Kensington systems & permits
Kensington runs its own electrical permitting and inspection, separately from the building permit. Only electricians holding a valid New Hampshire state licence can obtain an electrical permit, the permit is valid one year from the date paid with no refunds, and the electrician must contact the Electrical Inspector for inspection before covering or concealing any wiring and again when the work is complete — with inspections performed within 48 hours of request. The town also catches two things homeowners commonly miss: every hard-wired generator needs both an electrical permit and a building permit, and any pool with a pump or filter not plugged directly into a GFCI outlet needs an electrical permit, with extension cords not permitted.

Kensington's electrical permit application states: 'It is the responsibility of all electricians to obtain the necessary permits from the Town Office before any work is performed. Electricians must hold a valid license from the State of New Hampshire in order to obtain an Electrical Permit. Electricians must contact the Electrical Inspector for inspections before covering or concealing any electrical wiring, and again when the electrical work is complete. Inspections will be performed within 48 hours of request.'
The Kensington electrical permit fee is in addition to the building permit fee, and the electrical permit is valid for one year from the date paid with no refunds issued.
Kensington requires that 'all hard wired generators need an electrical permit and building permit.'
In Kensington, 'all pools that have a pump or filter that are not plugged directly into a GFCI outlet require an electrical permit (extension cords may not be used), and all pools with a filter/pump require a building permit. This includes small blow-up kiddie pools.'
