We calculate your home's power needs to recommend the right size generator (e.g., 22kW, 24kW).

We find the best location for the unit that meets code requirements for clearance and noise.

We install the concrete pad, mount the generator, and connect the electrical wiring and transfer switch.

We coordinate with a licensed plumber to connect the generator to your home's natural gas or propane supply.

We simulate a power outage to test the system and show you exactly how it works.
A typical job starts with a walk-through to look at your electrical panel, gas meter, and the outdoor space where the unit will sit. From there we run the load calculation, confirm gas line sizing with a licensed gas plumber, and pour or set the concrete pad the generator mounts to. Electrical rough-in follows: running conduit from the panel to the transfer switch and out to the pad. Once the gas and electrical connections are complete, the inspector reviews the work before we energize the system. Final startup includes testing the automatic transfer switch, running the unit through a simulated outage, and walking the homeowner through the controls and the maintenance schedule before we leave.
Kansas City sits across two states, and generator work is inspected by whichever authority has jurisdiction over the address: Kansas City, Missouri, or one of the surrounding cities and counties, including Clay, Platte, and Jackson County on the Missouri side, or the Kansas cities across the state line. Each jurisdiction runs its own permitting and inspection process, so a job in one suburb is not evaluated by the same building department as a job downtown. Gas and electrical utility coordination also matters here. On the Missouri side, that typically means working with Evergy for any service-related questions tied to the new load. The metro’s building stock spans decades of construction, from older brick homes to newer subdivisions, and panel age and gas line routing both affect how a job gets scoped before work starts.
Installation is not a one-day project. It moves through a site evaluation, permitting, the concrete pad and electrical rough-in, gas line coordination, and a final inspection before the unit is commissioned and tested. Most of that timeline is the permitting and inspection steps, not the physical labor itself.
Placement depends on manufacturer clearance requirements around doors, windows, and fresh air intakes, along with the local building department’s setback rules from the property line. We walk the site with you before installation to find a spot that meets code and stays out of the way. Exact clearance gets confirmed during the permitting step, since it varies by city and county.
A standby unit runs quieter than a portable gas generator and is built to sit outside near the home without disrupting daily life. Sound output varies by manufacturer and model size, so we can talk through options if noise near a bedroom window or a neighbor’s property line is a concern.
The right size comes from a load calculation, not a guess based on square footage. We look at your panel, your major appliances, and whether you want to run the whole house or just the essential circuits, then match that demand to a Generac or Kohler unit built for it.
Yes. Every generator installation in Kansas City goes through the local building department, and the electrical and gas work each get inspected before the system is signed off. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections as part of the job, so you are not tracking down city or county paperwork on your own.
