FAQ & Disclaimers

What MyGens includes, what it doesn't, and answers to the most common questions.

What's included

Do I need an app?

No. You open MyGens support from your phone's browser — no app to install.

Do I need an account to open a support link?

No, not normally. You can start as a guest. An account is only needed to save your generator history, manage a plan, or reopen past cases.

Can MyGens see my generator? Is the camera always on?

Only when needed, and only after you allow camera access. The camera is never always on: MyGens takes a snapshot when it needs to see something, and the result comes back into the same conversation.

How much does it cost?

Your first AI technical support session is free, no credit card required. After that: $4.99 per support case (or the Isaias Storm Pass at $19.99: unlimited AI video help from purchase until 14 days after Isaias makes landfall), or MyGens Care at $4.99/month or $39.99/year.

How is my support history saved?

Each support session is saved as a case with its conversation, photos and result. Create an account with the same email to keep your history across sessions and generators.

What does AI Support 24/7 mean?

AI Support 24/7 means you can ask questions about your generator at any time — alarms, startup failures, transfer switch behavior, strange noises, maintenance schedules, error codes, and general operation questions — and receive a clear, guided response.

It is not a live phone call. It is a conversational AI system trained on generator knowledge, available through the web on any device.

What is the Pre-Storm Check?

The Pre-Storm Check is a guided checklist walkthrough you complete with AI support before a storm. It is free: on live video, the AI checks that your generator starts, transfers power and holds the load, plus fuel, oil, battery, clearance and alarms.

What generators does MyGens support?

All residential standby generators including Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins/Onan, Champion, and Honeywell. If your brand is not listed, contact us before subscribing.

What's not included — exclusions

Important: MyGens provides remote AI support and guided video consultations. MyGens does not dispatch technicians, perform on-site repairs, or replace any physical service. When a physical inspection or repair is required, MyGens will inform you clearly.
Does MyGens replace my generator service contract?

No. MyGens is not a maintenance service contract. It does not include oil changes, filter replacements, physical tune-ups, load bank testing, or on-site labor. MyGens helps you understand your generator's condition between those visits.

Can MyGens dispatch a technician to my home?

No. MyGens is a remote support platform. If your generator requires physical repair, we'll help you identify the likely cause and what to communicate to a local service provider.

Is MyGens available in emergencies or during a storm?

AI Support is available 24/7 including during storms. However, during an active emergency always prioritize your local emergency services and your generator provider's emergency line. MyGens is best used for preparation and non-emergency diagnostics.

Billing & plans

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees. Refunds are not issued for partial billing periods.

What happens after I pay?

After payment, you'll be redirected to a short form. We need your name and phone number to activate your account.

Is payment secure?

All payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. MyGens does not store your credit card information.
