Generator Leads Are Born Urgent and Die Fast. Foreman Works Every One Before the Homeowner Moves On.
A homeowner calls for a whole-home standby generator quote after an outage, a storm warning, or a neighbor's install. They're motivated — for about 48 hours. Then the urgency fades, the inbox gets busy, and your $8,000–$20,000 quote sits unworked while three other generator companies send follow-ups. Foreman is an AI follow-up worker we build and run for your generator business. It replies instantly to every new inquiry and chases every open quote by text and email until you get a yes, a no, or a clear timeline — so you capture storm-season demand that would otherwise bleed to a faster competitor.
Residential standby generator installs average $10,000–$18,000 fully installed. Industry follow-up data shows the majority of home-service leads that convert do so after the second or third contact — yet most generator companies make one attempt or none. One additional install per month recovered from systematic follow-up, in a business where average job value exceeds $12,000, represents meaningful recovered revenue per year.
Home-services follow-up benchmark — illustrative of the opportunity, not a Scaler client result.
Generator leads don't go cold on price — they go cold because another company followed up first when the homeowner's urgency was still high.
- 01Whole-home standby generator installs run $7,000–$22,000 including transfer switch, pad, and permit. That ticket size demands a fast, professional follow-up — not a call three days later when the homeowner has already booked a competitor.
- 02Storm seasons and extended outages create surges of inbound inquiries that arrive all at once. Your install crew is in the field. Your office is fielding calls. New leads sit unanswered for hours — the most expensive time to go quiet.
- 03Open generator quotes sent to homeowners stall at the spouse conversation, the financing question, or a busy week. The contractor who checks back at the right moment — not daily, not never — wins the job.
- 04Generator service contract opportunities sit next to every new inquiry. A homeowner who just had a Generac installed is the easiest sale for an annual maintenance plan. Without a follow-up system, that revenue is left on the table at the moment of highest receptivity.
- 05Without a live pipeline view — which quotes are open, when you last touched each homeowner, who's gone quiet — storm-season demand is managed by memory and sticky notes instead of a system that closes jobs.
Live in days, not months.
