Generator Installation About
About our generator work in Kansas City
We're a locally owned team that installs home standby generators and transfer switches for houses in Kansas City and the towns around it. Here's how we work and what you can expect.
How every job starts
With a visit, not a phone quote. We look at your electrical panel, your gas meter and where a generator could sit, and we ask what you actually need running when the power's out. Then we do the load calculation and write up an estimate with each part listed on its own line. If something on it doesn't make sense, ask. We'd rather explain it than have you guess.
What we do, and what we don't
We install. That means new home standby generators, the transfer switches that go with them, and safe hookups for portable generators. We don't sell portable generators, and we don't do commercial or industrial systems. If you're asking about something outside that, we'll say so and point you in a better direction.
How we think about sizing
Most of the trouble people have with generators comes from a unit that's the wrong size or a gas supply that can't keep up. We'd rather spend extra time on the load calculation and the gas meter up front than have you find out during an ice storm. Sometimes that means recommending a smaller generator than you expected. Sometimes it means telling you a portable generator and a transfer switch will do the job.
Where we work
Most of our work is in Kansas City, MO, north and south of the river. We also install in North Kansas City, Gladstone, Independence, Raytown, Grandview, Lee's Summit and Parkville.

Get ahead of the next outage
We come out, look at your panel, gas meter and yard, and give you a written estimate that lists the generator, the transfer switch, the gas and electrical work and the permits as separate lines.
