About Us

Generator Source is your trusted partner in power generation

Established as Diesel Service & Supply in January of 1981, Generator Source has grown from a small 1,250 square foot one-man business to multiple service depots across the country.

A LEGACY OF POWER

Since our founding over four decades ago, Generator Source has grown to become the country’s largest buyer and seller of commercial generators, with branches and service teams ready to deliver power solutions nationwide.

Expansion

Expanded into a 10,000-square-foot facility, incorporating more technicians to support growth.

Field Service Launch

What They’re Saying

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

Beth Penzone

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 !!!

Everyone there is very nice. Helpful and the facility is very clean.

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!!
