The same generator can have two very different outcomes — and the difference is everything that happens around the box. Here's what buying through Mobile's certified Generac dealer changes: before the install, during it, and for the next fifteen years.

Generac doesn't hand out dealer status with a purchase order. Their dealer program recognizes companies by service capability, technical training, and commitment to the customer after the sale — and holds dealers to the installation specifications that keep the equipment (and its warranty) performing the way the factory intended.
Professional Systems is a certified Generac® dealer serving Mobile and Baldwin County — we're who a college here in Mobile called when their 22kW transfer switch quit switching. We're who pulled a worn-out unit in Grand Bay and set a new one in its place. And when the first named storm of the season knocks the power out, ours is the phone that rings. In practice, that means the people who quote your generator, install it, register it, and answer the phone when a storm is three days out are the same local, factory-trained team — accountable for the whole outcome, not just the delivery.

Generac's warranty assumes the unit was installed to Generac's specifications — clearances, gas sizing, electrical connections, commissioning. Factory-trained installation is how those boxes actually get checked.
Our techs are trained on the equipment they install and service — not learning your generator on your driveway.
Unregistered generators are one of the most common warranty headaches. We register yours before we leave, and you get the paperwork.
If something's ever covered under warranty, the claim runs through our Mobile office — one call, a truck you recognize, no 1-800 purgatory.
Maintenance and repairs use Generac parts, sourced through the dealer channel — which matters most in the week after a named storm, when everyone needs everything at once.
Sizing, gas, electrical, permits, service — a certified dealer that's also a licensed electrical contractor owns the entire scope. No finger-pointing between an equipment seller and an installer.
You can buy a Generac generator online or at a big-box store — the unit is the same. What's missing is everything this page is about. The retailer doesn't size it to your home's actual load. The installer you hire separately may or may not follow Generac's installation specs — and if they don't, warranty claims get complicated exactly when you need them simple. Nobody registers the unit. And when something needs service in year four, the store has no truck to send.
Meanwhile, the outages themselves aren't slowing down: Generac cites a 29% average annual growth in outage activity over the last decade (source: 2024 Data Fusion Solutions). The generator is 15-year equipment for a problem that's compounding — buy it from the people who'll be there in year 15.
We regularly finish, correct, or commission generators bought the other way — and we'll always help. But by the time a separately-purchased unit is properly installed, permitted, and commissioned, the savings have usually evaporated.

A standby generator earns its keep by being ready — and readiness is maintenance. As your dealer, we handle the annual service that keeps the warranty intact and the unit storm-ready: oil and filters, battery, firmware, and a full exercise test before hurricane season.
Pair it with Generac's Mobile Link™ monitoring and you'll see your generator's status and weekly self-test results from your phone — and so can we, if you'd like your dealer watching for faults before they matter.
Already own a Generac someone else installed? We service those too — join our maintenance roster and get the same dealer-level care.

Hurricane season makes standby power a Gulf Coast essential, and it makes the dealer question a practical one: when a storm is inbound, you want your generator company twenty minutes away, not two states. Professional Systems is headquartered at 216 E I-65 Service Rd N in Mobile, and we sell, install, and service Generac home standby generators across Mobile County and Baldwin County — Saraland, Semmes, Theodore, Tillmans Corner, Daphne, Spanish Fort, and Fairhope.

It means Generac recognizes the company through its dealer program — based on technical training, service capability, and commitment to customers after the sale — and that installations follow Generac's specifications. For you, the practical translation is factory-trained installation, warranty registration handled, and local warranty service for the life of the unit.
Usually not, once the whole project is priced. A separately purchased unit still needs professional sizing, gas work, electrical, permits, and commissioning — and correcting a non-spec install costs more than doing it right once. Our quotes are the complete installed price in writing, so the comparison is easy to make honestly.
Yes. We maintain and repair Generac home standby generators regardless of who installed them, and we can bring an existing unit onto our annual maintenance roster for dealer-level care.
We do — that's a core part of what dealer status means. Warranty service runs through our Mobile office with our own factory-trained technicians and genuine Generac parts.
Yes, before we leave the property, and you receive the documentation. Unregistered units are one of the most common causes of warranty friction — it's an easy step that too often gets skipped outside the dealer channel.
Our office answered 1,394 calls in the last twelve months, and 96% of them got picked up live — by a person in Mobile, not a call center. We're local, so response is measured in hours and days, not weeks — and maintenance-plan customers are prioritized. The honest advice: install and service in the calm months; after the first named storm, everyone's calendar fills at once.
That's a load calculation, not a guess — and it's free. Most whole-home installs in our area land between 18 and 26kW. Full details on our whole house generator installation page.
Yes — flexible financing options can turn storm security into a predictable monthly payment. We'll walk you through terms with your free estimate.
