What's the difference between Standby Power and Generator Rental?

Standby Power is the generator service edition — the equipment record, the PM and load bank report, NFPA 110 test documentation and the due list — and every plan includes a rental fleet. Generator Rental is the rental fleet on its own — reservations, the drop pin, best-rate billing with hour-meter overtime and fuel — for yards that don’t service customers’ units.

No, and you can’t buy both together. Standby Power already includes the rental fleet — up to 5 rental units on Solo, 25 on Growth and 75 on Pro — so a dealer who services and rents picks Standby Power. Rental-only yards pick Generator Rental, with the same allowance.

How much does it cost?

Both are priced by the truck with unlimited users, from $99 per truck per month billed annually ($1,190 per truck per year) on Solo, with Growth and Pro above it. Either one adds to an existing RouteHouse trade at 40% off. Larger fleets are quoted.

Does it connect to generator monitoring systems?

Not directly — it isn’t a manufacturer integration. But Standby Power takes your monitoring alert emails: each one lands in your schedule matched to the customer by serial number, and a fault can become an emergency job automatically. Works with alert emails from Generac Mobile Link and Mobile Link Fleet, Kohler Energy Management and other brands that email alerts.

Two editions for the generator business

Standby Power is the whole generator business — service, plus a rental fleet included. Generator Rental is the rental side on its own, for yards that never touch a customer’s unit. Pick one; you never need both.

Service and rent? Pick Standby Power — the rental fleet is already included. One edition, one bill.

Service and rental, one edition

Customer’s generator down? Book a loaner on the spot.

Standby Power includes a rental fleet, so the tech who finds a dead unit doesn’t have to call the yard. He reserves a rental unit for that address straight from the job.

Reserved from the service job. The loaner goes to the same customer and address, no re-typing.
Delivery on today’s schedule. Pickup lands on the end date.
No overtime surprise. Outage loaners are booked at 24 run hours a day, so the customer isn’t billed overtime during the outage.
Then the repair gets quoted. The failed part becomes a follow-up for the office, while the loaner keeps the lights on.
