How We List Home Backup Installers

How Installers Get Listed

• Installers Apply or Are Invited

  We research installers in each market and invite the strongest candidates to apply.

• Research Alone Never Lists Anyone

  An installer appears only after they've confirmed their details with us in writing.

• We Check Before Listing

  Before listing, we check the business's identity, its license with the state (or local) licensing authority, the services it offers, and its service area.

What Our Labels Mean

• Listed

  Listed

  The installer confirmed their business details, services and service area. We confirmed the business is real and that its required license was active in the licensing authority's database on the date we checked.

• ✓ Verified by Outbound Power

  Verified by Outbound Power

  Everything in Listed, plus: we reviewed a current certificate of insurance, confirmed the business is active with its state, confirmed contact details on a live call, and reviewed public customer feedback on at least two platforms without finding a disqualifying pattern of complaints. We re-check at least every 12 months, and the badge shows the month we last verified.

• [Brand] certified

  Manufacturer-Certified

  We confirmed the installer's certification on that manufacturer's installer locator, or by reviewing a certificate. It's shown only for the specific brands we confirmed.

• Brands (per installer)

  Brands They Work With

  Brands the installer reports installing. We don't independently confirm these unless they're marked "certified".

What "Verified" does not mean: we haven't inspected installers' work, audited their workmanship, or guaranteed their prices, timelines or results. Verification isn't a certification for every product.

Our Commitments

• Nobody Pays for Placement

  On each page, Verified installers appear first, then Listed installers, alphabetical within each group. Nobody pays to be listed or to appear higher.

• No Referral Fees

  We don't charge installers for listings or for your inquiry, and we don't charge you. When you contact an installer, you deal with them directly.

• Your Agreement Is With the Installer

  Installers here are independent businesses, not employees or agents of Outbound Power. Get written quotes and confirm that permits will be pulled before you sign.

Report a Concern

If you have a concern about a listed installer, contact us and include the installer's name. We acknowledge concerns within 2 business days and share them with the installer for a response. Serious concerns (safety, fraud or licensing) lead to immediate suspension while we review. Installers with repeated, substantiated complaints are removed. For disputes about an installer's work, your state's contractor licensing board is the right place to file a complaint.
