Installation
Let our factory trained technicians install your next standby generator. Proper professional installation of your generator ensures it will activate when you lose power.
Service
Standby generators are like any motor and need to be serviced annually to make sure it's in proper working condition. Should the standby generator we sell you fail for any reason, our factory trained servicemen are able to perform all repairs. We also repair standby generators that we don't install or sell. We carry a large inventory of spare parts. We are so confident we will have your spare part in inventory, that if we don't, we will take 5% off your invoice for the repair. This excludes large specialty parts such as engines, alternators, rotors, and stators.
Inspections
If your standby generator was not installed by a factory trained professional, or you are concerned that it wasn't installed properly, get in touch with us! We'll dispatch a technician to thoroughly inspect your unit to make sure everything was done properly and that the unit you have is the appropriate size for the needs you require.

Evaluations
At DIRFY Generators, we're here to help. Allow us to give you an evaluation of your electrical power needs and show you what standby power generator best fits you.

Let the DIRFY Generators team explain the differences in our propane and natural gas generator models. These brand name units come with manufacturer warranties of up to 10

years parts, labor and travel - depending on the make, style and model.

7000watts/240 volts = 29.1 amps

10kw generator puts out 41.67 amps
10,000 watts/240 volts = 41.67 amps

12 kw generator puts out 50 amps
12,000 watts/240 volts = 50 amps
