When the Storm Hits, Show-Me State Lights Stay On. Serving Kansas City and the surrounding Missouri communities with fair, transparent nonprofit pricing.
Kansas City is the anchor of this market for us, and the surrounding communities are covered from the same supply chain and the same licensed contractor network.
Missouri averages 30+ severe thunderstorm days a year, plus ice storms that have knocked out power to hundreds of thousands across the KC metro and St. Louis. Evergy and Ameren restoration after a major ice event can take days, a standby generator restores power in seconds. For Kansas City households that means outages arrive with the weather, and restoration on Evergy and Ameren lines follows a queue you do not control. A home standby generator takes your address out of that queue: it detects the outage, starts itself within seconds, and carries the house on natural gas or propane for as long as the grid stays down, whether anyone is home or not.
Most Kansas City projects land between $9,000 and $16,000 fully installed. The equipment is the larger share, quoted factory-direct across all eight brands we carry, and the balance covers installation by an independent licensed Missouri contractor: concrete pad, gas line, automatic transfer switch, electrical work, permits, and commissioning. What moves your number up or down locally is gas line distance, panel condition, and how much of the house you want covered. Because Power Up Generator Solutions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, there is no sales commission inside that price, which typically runs $2,000 to $4,000 under commissioned dealers on comparable equipment.
Plenty of Kansas City properties depend on a pump that only works with power. Well pumps surge past 4,000 watts at startup and sump failures during storms are how basements flood, so both belong on the backed-up circuit list. Send us the motor plate and we will size for the surge, not the running load.
Same pricing, same eight brands, same licensed-installer model across the region:
Single-brand dealers quote the one brand on their sign. We are factory-direct authorized for eight, so your Kansas City quote compares them side by side and the right machine wins on the numbers:
Most Kansas City installations run $9,000 to $16,000 fully installed: factory-direct equipment plus installation by an independent licensed Missouri contractor covering the pad, gas line, transfer switch, and permits. Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit pricing carries no sales commission, which typically saves $2,000 to $4,000 against for-profit dealers.
Most homes here land in the 22 to 26kW class for whole-home coverage including central air, or 14kW for essentials only. Sizing is free: text POWER and your zip to 816-785-1268.
We supply the equipment factory-direct across all eight major brands and coordinate your project. The installation itself is performed by independent, third-party licensed contractors working in Kansas City and the surrounding Missouri communities, who pull the permits and carry the workmanship warranty.
Routine interruptions on Evergy and Ameren run a few hours, but ice storms and severe thunderstorms have produced multi-day outages across Missouri. A standby generator restores power automatically within seconds and runs as long as the outage does.
Spread the project across monthly payments through Synchrony. We earn no commission on financing, and our nonprofit pricing means less principal to finance in the first place.
We connect Kansas City homeowners with factory-trained licensed technicians for annual maintenance, repair, and no-start emergencies, on all major brands and regardless of who originally sold the unit. Annual service plans run about $250 to $450 and cover oil and filter, spark plugs, battery load test, transfer switch test, and a full diagnostic. During active outages, phone response is typically within 15 minutes and no-start calls take priority. Most outage failures trace to a dead battery or skipped oil service, and both are same-visit fixes.
