Kent is the largest city in Portage County and home to Kent State University, with a diverse mix of residential neighborhoods ranging from historic areas near campus to newer suburban developments. The city's location in northeastern Portage County means it experiences significant winter weather, and extended outages during major storms are a recurring challenge for Kent homeowners. Backup Power Solutions installs Generac, Kohler, and Cummins standby generators throughout Kent and surrounding Portage County communities.
We serve Kent, Franklin Township, Ravenna, and surrounding central Portage County communities. Our technicians handle all Portage County Building Department permits and FirstEnergy interconnection paperwork from start to finish.
Kent's mix of older campus-area homes and newer suburban developments means generator sizing and panel requirements vary widely across the city. Our licensed electricians evaluate your service panel during every free estimate and provide a transparent written quote covering all costs.
Backup Power Solutions serves all of Northeast Ohio. Our licensed technicians travel throughout Summit, Stark, Portage, Medina, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Mahoning, and Trumbull counties.
