Generator Installation
Lancaster Brothers installs Generac standby generators that connect permanently to the property’s electrical system through an automatic transfer switch. We review the electrical load, available fuel source, installation site, and the circuits or equipment you want to support. The generator detects a utility outage, starts automatically, and returns to standby after normal power is restored.
Generator Replacement
An older standby generator may no longer provide dependable startup, sufficient output, or compatible controls for the property’s current electrical needs. Lancaster Brothers can help you select a modern Generac replacement system sized for your current backup power needs.
Generator Repair
Warning lights, fault codes, failed exercise cycles, unusual noises, fluid leaks, and delayed startup can indicate that a generator needs professional attention. Lancaster Brothers diagnoses issues and repairs Generac generators for Kansas City homeowners. Annual inspection and maintenance services are also available to test operation and address developing concerns before the next outage.

Generator Problems To Look Out For in Overland Park
A standby generator may remain unused for months between outages, which makes automatic exercise cycles and routine monitoring important. Don’t wait for a utility failure to discover that the battery, controls, fuel system, or transfer equipment isn’t operating correctly.
Failed Exercise Cycles or Warning Lights
Standby generators run scheduled exercise cycles to verify basic operation between outages. A missed cycle, red warning light, recurring fault code, or system left outside AUTO mode means the generator may not respond when utility power fails. Schedule service so the cause can be identified before backup power is necessary.
Startup and Transfer Problems
A weak battery, control fault, fuel issue, or transfer-switch problem can prevent the generator from starting or supplying power to the building. Call for service if the unit cranks slowly, starts and immediately shuts down, or runs without restoring the selected household circuits. Repeated resets don’t correct the underlying failure.
General Generator Warning Signs
Unusual vibration, excessive exhaust, fuel odors, fluid leaks, corrosion, unusual mechanical sounds, or declining performance during a test cycle all deserve attention. The generator should also be inspected if it has operated through an extended outage, since prolonged runtime can affect oil, filters, fluids, and other maintenance needs.
Generator Permit Requirements in Overland Park
The City of Overland Park requires a permit for the installation or replacement of a new permanent electrical generator. A properly installed automatic transfer switch is also required to separate the property from utility power while the generator is operating. Plans should account for approved equipment clearances, utility connections, exhaust placement, maintenance access, and applicable city requirements before work begins.
Lancaster Brothers includes these project considerations when planning a new standby generator so the proposed system fits the property and can proceed through the required local review and inspection process.

Common Generator Questions
What size generator does my home need?
Generator capacity depends on which circuits and equipment you want to operate simultaneously. HVAC equipment, electrical appliances, sump pumps, well pumps, refrigeration, and medical devices can significantly affect the required load. Lancaster Brothers completes a power assessment before recommending generator capacity.
How does a whole-home standby generator turn on during an outage?
The automatic transfer switch detects the loss of utility power and signals the generator to start. Once the generator is producing stable electricity, the transfer switch supplies power to the approved circuits. The system transfers the property back to utility service and shuts down the generator after normal power returns.
Can a standby generator power my entire home?
Yes, when the generator and transfer equipment are properly sized for the property’s electrical load. Some homeowners choose whole-home coverage, while others prioritize selected systems and essential circuits to control equipment capacity and project cost.
