Commercial transparency

Affiliate & referral disclosure

Standby Generator Resource may use affiliate or referral links on pages where a product, quote, dealer, installer or service is a natural next step. If a referral qualifies or a purchase is completed, we may receive compensation.

What compensation can mean

Depending on the program, compensation may be tied to an eligible purchase, a qualified lead, a completed quote request or another action defined by the partner's program terms. We do not publish a commission amount unless it can be verified from the applicable program.

What it does not mean

A commercial relationship does not make a product, brand or installer our automatic recommendation. Technical claims, model comparisons and buying guidance remain subject to the same source and verification standards described in our research policy.

Disclosure near paid links

When a link is actively monetized, we aim to disclose that relationship clearly near the recommendation or action rather than relying only on this page. Affiliate links are also marked with the appropriate sponsored relationship attribute where applicable.

Your price

Using an affiliate or referral link generally does not change the price quoted to you by the merchant, manufacturer or service provider unless the partner explicitly states otherwise. The provider controls its own pricing, eligibility and terms.

Editorial independence

Search demand helps us choose which homeowner questions to investigate. Commercial opportunity may influence which legitimate next-step options we make easier to find. Neither one changes the underlying technical evidence. Where manufacturer documents conflict, where a claim is uncertain, or where a product is not a good fit, the page should say so even if a commercial relationship exists.
