Which Type of Home Generators is Best For My Kansas City, KS Home?
Picking the right backup generator comes down to a handful of variables specific to your household, and it’s not always obvious which setup fits best. KB Complete’s electricians walk through those variables with you and recommend the system that actually matches how you use your home. Two main categories cover most Kansas City households:
Whole House
This is the top-tier option: a standby system that automatically powers your entire home the moment utility power drops. It costs more up front than a partial setup, but it means nothing in your house — appliances, HVAC, electronics — ever goes without power during an outage.
Partial
A partial system covers your essential circuits only — think refrigerator, sump pump, a few key outlets — rather than the whole house. It costs less than a whole-house system and is available as either a permanently wired standby unit or a portable unit you set up when you need it.

Can I install my own home generator?
Usually installing a home generator is not a project a homeowner should undertake on their own. It may be possible to do a DIY project with a portable generator, but installing a standby home generator almost certainly requires the skills of a professional electrician from KB Complete to ensure your home’s safety.
Can I install a generator myself?
You can most likely pretty easily set up a portable generator yourself, but standby generators will have to be installed by an experienced electrician at KB Complete. Your KB Complete electrical expert will coordinate any permits and/or state electrical codes, hook up the transfer switch, and ensure that everything is installed properly so that your warranty remains valid. If you are installing a portable generator and struggling to do so properly, you can always have a professional from KB Complete get the job done for you.
Can I run a portable generator from inside of my house?
Never run a portable generator from inside of your house! Portable generators run on gas and oil that emit exhaust which contains dangerous chemicals and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless poison that can kill an entire household within minutes. There is no such circumstance in which it is safe to run a portable generator from inside of your house – even if it is raining or snowing. This applies to your garage and/or screened-in porch as well. Portable generators must be located at least 15 feet away from your home. If you are going to run a portable generator, you should have carbon monoxide detectors installed in your home, and test them periodically to make sure they are working properly.
Why should I have an automatic standby generator installed rather than a portable generator?
Automatic standby generators offer significant advantages over portable generators. Those advantages can be broken down into three main categories: safety, convenience, and cost. The American Red Cross recommends permanently installed standby generators as they are a safer way to provide backup power to a home, eliminating much of the carbon monoxide risk associated with portable generators. Automatic standby generators start running the second your power turns off and then power off again the second power is restored to your home. Portable generators, on the other hand, need to be hauled outside and need to be manually turned both on and off. Lastly, because they run on your home’s Gas or LP supply, which will save you money. If you are looking to have an automatic standby generator installed, call KB Complete to have a trusted electrical expert install your generator safely and properly.
