When the Evergy grid goes down in an ice storm or a summer wind event, Lee's Summit homes can sit dark for days. A whole-house standby generator keeps the heat, the fridge, and the sump pump running like nothing happened.
📞 Call (816) 816-3406 Get My Free QuoteLee's Summit takes the same weather the rest of eastern Jackson County does. Winter ice loads down the Evergy lines and summer thunderstorms roll through with straight-line wind that drops limbs across the overhead service. The far east and south sides of town, out past Longview Lake and the newer subdivisions toward Lake Winnebago, have long tree-lined streets that see some of the longer outages in a bad storm. For a home with a finished basement, and Lee's Summit has plenty, the sump pump is the real worry. When the power quits mid-storm the pump stops and the basement starts to take on water. A natural gas standby unit keeps that pump alive.
I run a real load calculation on your home before recommending anything, so you get a generator matched to what you actually want backed up, whether that is the whole house or just the essentials like furnace, fridge, sump, and key circuits. I install Generac and Kohler units, tie into your natural gas line, and a licensed electrician wires the transfer switch to Lee's Summit and Jackson County code. When the grid fails, the unit starts itself within seconds.
A standby generator only earns its keep if it runs when you need it. It self-exercises weekly, and I handle the oil, filter, and battery service that keeps it ready through a long Missouri outage. My maintenance and repair page lays that out, and the installation page walks through the whole process.
