  • What kind of support do you offer after I purchase a generator?

    You can come to us for troubleshooting advice, repairs, and maintenance services. Service contracts are available to ensure your generator runs smoothly.   

  • Why has my generator been running for over 30 min but there is no power outage?

    Is it April 1st or September 1st? If so, your generator is in a semi-annual “burn-off”. Since the weekly exercise times are short for certain newer models, those generators will run for about 45 minutes to make sure that all condensation in the engine is burned off. If it’s not April 1 or Sept 1, please call us!"

  • Is there an option to monitor my generator remotely?

    Yes! We offer InfoHub monitoring modules that can send you text and/or email notifications. We will receive notifications as well.
