Ken Goodrich Launches Kenerator to Innovate Home Generator Solutions
In a world where extreme weather conditions like storms and heat waves are becoming increasingly common, Ken Goodrich is tackling the challenge of power outages head-on with his new venture, Kenerator. This innovative platform aims to modernize the home generator and backup battery market, which is struggling to keep up with the rising demand for reliable energy solutions.
With a background in transforming companies like ARS, YES! Air Conditioning, and Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Goodrich brings extensive experience and insight into a market that often fails to meet homeowners' needs. His fascination with power solutions stems from his childhood, influenced by his father's engineering background, which led him to create his first mini power generator at a young age.
"Kenerator represents a step forward in providing homeowners with dependable power, especially as outages continue to rise," Goodrich notes. "Our mission is to transform a fragmented market into a cohesive one through an integrated and service-oriented business model."
Strategic Investments to Propel Growth
Kenerator is set on solidifying its position in the market with a robust pipeline of investments exceeding $150 million. The company is focusing on regions most affected by severe weather, particularly the Gulf Coast. Notable acquisitions include:
- - Alternative Home Energy Maintenance (Dallas, TX) - Now rebranded under Kenerator, this company specializes in generator sales, installations, and repairs for both residential and commercial clients throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
- - GenPro (Houston, TX) - As the largest dealer of Cummins generators in the U.S., GenPro will now harness the additional resources and support from Kenerator to enhance its service delivery to residential clients.
- - Suncoast Power Solutions (Tampa, FL) - A seasoned contractor specializing in Generac systems, Suncoast has been pivotal in the Tampa Bay area since 1992, and its integration into Kenerator will fortify the company’s presence in the region.
These foundational acquisitions are part of Kenerator's ambitious strategy to consolidate and innovate within the generator market.
