The Kenerator Story
To Make Dad Proud
The Kenerator story began in Las Vegas, NV, where young Ken Goodrich, nicknamed ‘The Kenerator’ by his father, engineered his first generator for a science fair to impress his engineer dad. When the teacher doubted his work, it sparked a lifelong mission: build reliable Personal Power Plants for homes everywhere.
Kenerator, Power on your terms.
Prepared Together
Your Personal Power Plant is more than just backup power; it’s part of a larger plan for community preparedness. Whether you’re facing a minor outage or a major disaster, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to help you stay ready for whatever comes next.
Our Difference
Kenerator
Turn your home into a resilient fortress with a Kenerator Personal Power Plant. Because not all backup power is created equal, and the difference matters when the world around you goes dark.
Power only
Backup power isn’t just something we do, it’s all we do. Often imitated, never matched, we set the standard. With Ken’s decades of leadership behind every system we build, we’re the name others measure themselves against. No brag, just fact.
Built commercial-grade
While standard residential units lean on aluminum, every Kenerator is built in a commercial-grade steel enclosure engineered to withstand extreme winds and impacts. Heavy-duty hardware, rigorously diagnostic and load-tested to deliver reliable power under extreme conditions.
13-year warranty
We stand behind every Power Plant with a 13-year warranty, more than double the industry-standard 5-year coverage. Complete peace of mind, fully backed by Kenerator and the nation’s premier standby power network.
You Have Questions?
We have Answers
Q: What exactly is a home power plant?
A Personal Power Plant is your home’s backup power system, built to keep your family powered through any outage. Just like utility power plants vary in size and capability, so do Personal Power Plants. They range from systems powering a few essentials to comprehensive setups that run your entire home for extended periods. A complete Personal Power Plant typically includes:
- A standby generator
- Surge protection
- Device monitoring you can check from your phone
- Battery backup
Q: Do you build portable generators or rent them?
No. Portable generators are fine for a campsite or job site, but they aren’t true backup power. Kenerator builds whole-home Personal Power Plants that keep your smart home smart, even during an outage, automatically and without anyone hauling fuel at 2 a.m. The smarter move is a Kenerator: reliable, resilient, and always ready.
Q: How fast can I get one installed?
Installation is handled by your certified Kenerator dealer, and timelines vary. A standby system is more marathon than sprint: it can involve electricians, plumbers, permitting offices, and sometimes an HOA. Some installs happen in days, others take weeks depending on your location and local red tape. Your dealer will size your system, find the right spot, sort out fuel, and lay out the timeline. Get matched with a dealer to start.
Q: How much does a Kenerator cost?
It depends on how prepared you want to be. A full Personal Power Plant is sized to your home and lifestyle: how do you want your family to live during an outage, for an hour, a day, or a week? Most whole-home backup systems range from roughly $10,000 to $100,000 installed, much like cars vary by features and quality. Your certified dealer will price the right solution for your home and budget.
