What Ready Power does

Ready Power LLC (DBA Ready Power USA) is a privately held generator installation and maintenance services company founded in April 2009 by Lloyd Huck and Jeremiah Johnson in response to post-Hurricane Katrina demand for residential backup power in the Gulf Coast region. The company is headquartered at 4900 Calliope St, New Orleans, Louisiana, with regional offices in Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette. Ready Power operates as a Generac Power Pro Premier dealer — the highest tier of Generac partnership — and also installs and services Kohler and Briggs & Stratton standby generators ranging from 16kW to 30kW+ capacity for residential and commercial customers.

The company's service offering is built around automatic standby generator systems with automatic transfer switches that support natural gas and propane fuel sources. Proprietary features include Smart Management Modules that stagger high-demand loads to enable whole-home coverage without oversizing the generator, and remote monitoring bundled into maintenance agreements that allows the company to track generator health 24/7. All work — site surveys, permitting, electrical, gas piping, transfer switch installation, concrete pad, and inspections — is performed in-house by 16+ manufacturer-certified technicians with no subcontracting, and is backed by a written guarantee of code and manufacturer compliance.

Ready Power generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time generator sales and installation ($9,000–$28,000+ residential, $9,000–$15,000 commercial), recurring annual maintenance plans ($300–$600+ per year) and per-visit maintenance ($400–$600), and 24/7 emergency repair services. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via free in-home consultations, with 45+ city-specific service area pages across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama supporting organic search acquisition. The company is licensed and certified to operate in 7+ U.S. states, holds EPA national certification, and has been recognized as a four-time Inc. 5000 and six-time Inner City 100 awardee, with a 4.9/5 Google rating across 881 reviews.

Direct peer with overlapping product mix, comparable Generac Premier-style positioning, and a similarly structured in-home consultation sales motion.
• Mister Sparky Electric: Neighborly-branded electrical services franchise providing installation, repair, and emergency services to residential and commercial customers. Comparable direct services peer with a similar field-sales-driven model and overlapping commercial generator work.

Broad incumbents

• Briggs & Stratton: Manufacturer of home standby and portable generators sold under multiple brand names. Comparable as a broad-incumbent OEM peer in the residential backup generator ecosystem that Ready Power actively installs and services.
• Generac Power Systems: Leading US manufacturer of home standby generators and Ready Power's primary brand partner. Comparable because it operates in the same backup-power ecosystem (and increasingly through its own direct sales channels), but at dramatically larger scale as an OEM and emerging channel competitor.
• Champion Power Equipment: Manufacturer of home standby and portable generators including popular Honeywell-branded units. Comparable as another broad-incumbent OEM in the residential backup-power category that competes indirectly with the brands Ready Power distributes.
• Kohler Co. Diversified manufacturer whose Kohler Power division produces standby generators that Ready Power installs alongside Generac. Comparable as a broad-incumbent OEM peer and supplier in the residential standby generator value chain.
