Generator Installation & Repair in Kansas City, MO

The size of the generator you’ll need depends on several factors, including your home’s square footage, the number and type of appliances you want to power during an outage, and your budget. Paschal Air, Plumbing & Electric’s experienced professionals will work with you to assess your unique needs and recommend the perfect generator size for your Kansas City home. We’ll take into account your power requirements, budget, and long-term goals to ensure you get the best solution for your family’s needs.

A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home, similar to a central air conditioning unit. It’s connected to your home’s electrical system and fuel source (usually natural gas or propane). When a power outage occurs, the generator’s automatic transfer switch senses the loss of power and signals the generator to start up. Within seconds, the generator begins supplying power to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box, allowing your lights, appliances, and other essential systems to continue running smoothly. When utility power is restored, the transfer switch automatically shuts down the generator and reconnects your home to the grid.

While it may be tempting to tackle a generator installation as a DIY project, it’s essential to have a licensed professional handle the job. Generator installation involves working with electrical wiring, natural gas or propane fuel lines, and local building codes. Attempting to install a generator without the proper knowledge, skills, and tools can be dangerous and may even void your generator’s warranty. Paschal Air, Plumbing & Electric’s certified technicians have the expertise to safely and correctly install your standby generator, ensuring it’s ready to provide reliable power when you need it most.

To keep your standby generator in top condition and ready to perform when needed, regular maintenance is essential. Paschal Air, Plumbing & Electric offers comprehensive generator maintenance services, including oil changes, filter replacements, spark plug checks, and more. We recommend having your generator professionally serviced at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Many newer generators also feature self-testing capabilities, automatically running weekly or monthly tests to ensure they’re ready to operate when needed. Our technicians can help you understand your generator’s maintenance needs and set up a schedule to keep it in prime condition.
