Find a generator pro
Generator Handbook is an independent information resource. We do not install, repair or warrant generators. Where an independent generator professional is under agreement for a territory, we pass qualifying requests to them so they can respond to you directly. Today that is true of none of the territories below.
We are building this network area by area. 5 of the 5 territories below have no professional under agreement yet. If we have nobody covering your area when your request arrives, your details are not shared with anyone and we will tell you.
What happens when you send a request
- Your description reaches us. Nothing is shared at this point, and nothing is automatic.
- We check whether an independent professional is under agreement for your area.
- If there is, your request is passed to them so they can contact you directly. Whether they take it on is their decision, not ours.
- If there is not — which today is the case for 5 of 5 territories — we tell you, and your details go no further.
You may hear from an independent generator company, not from us. We are not party to what you agree with them, and we do not set their prices, their schedule or their scope.
How we verify professionals — and what that does not cover
We confirm that a company exists as a legal entity, that it holds the licence or registration its work requires where a public register makes that checkable, and that it agrees in writing to how requests are handled. We record the date each check was made, because a licence is true on a date rather than forever.
That is the whole of it.We do not inspect anyone's work, supervise installations, test workmanship, run background checks on employees, or verify insurance beyond what a company provides. A professional appearing here is not endorsed by us and is not our agent. No placement is bought — a company cannot pay to appear here, and we would rather list nobody than list a company we could not check.
Which is why the honest advice is to run your own checks anyway. What you can actually verify about an installer sets out the ones worth doing, most of which take minutes and none of which depend on us.
What to have ready
None of this is required, and a request without it is still fine. It exists because the quality of the first conversation tracks the quality of what you can describe.
- What you are trying to back up
- Whole property, or specific circuits you cannot be without. This changes the system, the price and who is even a candidate.
- Your electrical panel's rating, if you can read it
- It is printed on the main breaker. It is the first thing an installer asks and the first thing that constrains the answer.
- What fuel is already at the property
- Natural gas at the meter, an existing propane tank, or neither. Fuel availability decides more of the design than most homeowners expect.
- Roughly where the equipment could go
- Clearances and exhaust rule out more locations than people assume, so a candidate spot is a useful starting point rather than a decision.
- Any proposals you already hold
- If you are comparing rather than starting, say so. It changes the conversation from selling to checking.
Territories we route requests to
- Houston, TX — network forming
- Tampa, FL — network forming
- Oklahoma City, OK — network forming
- Little Rock, AR — network forming
- Orlando, FL — network forming
Everywhere else
If your property is outside these territories you can still describe your project. The same rule applies: where we have nobody covering your area, your request is not shared.
What we are not promising
- Not a match. Sending a request does not mean somebody takes it on.
- Not a price, and not an estimate. We do not quote work.
- Not a response time. Whether and when a company replies is up to that company.
- Not an endorsement. Being routed a request is not a judgement by us about quality.
- The work itself is not guaranteed by us. That sits between you and whoever performs it.
