50+ years of experience

Quality Assurance

For nearly 40 years, Generator Source has been a trusted name in dependable power solutions. Our thorough inspection process ensures your generator works flawlessly when you need it most. We deliver the highest standards of service, quality, and reliability.

Our skilled team includes electricians, riggers, and mechanics who handle everything from service to de-installations and testing. We’ve professionally managed units up to 6 megawatts, with satisfied customers like Sprint, Wal-Mart, and the University of California.

Experience

Our diesel engineers and technicians are among the most skilled in the industry with over 70 years of combined professional experience.

Credibility

Many companies in the industry like to represent themselves as experts in diesel engines and generators, only for customers to discover later that they are in fact dealing with a broker who represents inventory they don’t own. At Generator Source, we are confident in the quality of our equipment because we personally inspect and test every generator we sell.

Genuine Parts

The old adage, “You get what you pay for.” still rings true. At Generator Source we have always believed in using genuine parts; no knockoffs. Generic parts are often unreliable as there is less knowledge about where they were manufactured and the quality behind them. We only stand behind products we personally believe in, and quality OEM parts.

Fully Customizable

One size does not fit all in the generator industry. Getting the right fit with your generator installation is crucial for the long-term performance and reliability of the unit. We believe in doing the job right the first time so we have developed a fully-capable fabrication department to customize any generator to meet your facility’s needs.

Great folks to work with. Techs are very knowledgeable and the office personnel are extremely responsive and helpful.

Great staff. Quick response, easy to understand the quote. Had my whole house generator humming within 24 hours of our first call. Highly recommend these guys. They’re the best.

Arcenious Armond

Excellent service ! The company that installed my original whole house generator went out of business. I couldn’t get another company to even respond to a phone call for continuing maintenance on my generator ! I called Generator Source and they came out the next day and serviced my generator with professional, friendly service. I absolutely will use this company again for my ongoing maintenance. Thanks Andrew and Oliver !!!

Steven Martinez

We purchased generators from Jared on two occasions. In both instances the units were accurately represented. Both the units were shipped promptly and the communications with everyone involved was friendly and professional. Buying something like this at a distance sight unseen can be a risk but this company does a great job of getting you what you need and doing it right! Thanks!!
