Special Announcement - Tales from the Field: Launching the FIRST-Ever Generator Story Contest

In this special episode of the Stand By Generator Podcast, host Jim Swetman announces the launch of the first-ever Home Standby Generator Tales from the Field contest — and he wants to hear from you.

If you’ve spent any time in the standby power industry, you know the stories. The unbelievable service calls. The wild installation days. The customers you’ll never forget. The trench you dug that hit something it definitely shouldn’t have. The weather that made you question every life decision. The Murphy’s Law moments that turn into shop legends.

Now’s your chance to share them.

From February 17 through April 15, submit your craziest (but true!) generator installation, maintenance, site survey, or customer call story to [email protected] for a chance to win $500 cash plus a $250 pizza party for your team. The best stories will be featured on upcoming episodes, and finalists will be highlighted for audience voting on LinkedIn — with Jim making the final call.

Stories must be real, appropriate, and backed with proof. Whether you type it out, send an audio clip, or film yourself telling it, this is your opportunity to become a legend in the standby power world.

Make us laugh. Make us cringe. Make us glad we weren’t on that job site.

Submit your story and be part of the first generator story contest in the nation.
