Editorial and Corrections Policy

Sources

For result-driving and safety-sensitive technical claims, the preferred source order is:

1. Applicable code and standards material.
2. Manufacturer technical and sizing documentation.
3. Government and public-authority safety sources.
4. Other authoritative technical references when needed.

Unsourced blogs, forums, retailer copy, and AI-generated output are not used as primary technical authority. The public calculator methodology and generator source register provides more detail about result-driving sources and limitations.

Calculator methodology and testing

Result-driving calculator methodology is versioned. The generator catalog and its data snapshot are versioned separately. Significant calculator, methodology, and catalog changes are tested before production, including focused regressions for the affected behavior and the site’s release gate. Version history and current source information are published on the methodology page.

Content review and update dates

Technical content is checked against the source material appropriate to the claim. Sources and visible update or review dates are changed when a substantive revision warrants it; routine template, navigation, or footer changes do not manufacture a new article-review date. There is no promised fixed review interval. Significant corrections are reflected transparently where the affected material and user impact make that useful.

AI assistance and accountability

AI tools are used to assist with research, writing, coding, and testing. They do not independently publish content. William Christie maintains SizeMyGenerator and is responsible for the material published on the site.

Corrections

If you find a technical error, outdated source, calculator issue, unclear explanation, or other factual problem, email Bill@sizemygenerator.com. Material reports are checked against the relevant source material. Calculator and methodology corrections are tested, and published material is updated when the evidence warrants a change. No specific response time is promised.

Scope and professional handoff

SizeMyGenerator provides technically grounded, directional planning for homeowners considering a residential optional standby system. It is not a substitute for final site-specific equipment selection, installation design, manufacturer instructions, locally adopted code or AHJ review, or the judgment of the qualified electrician or installer responsible for the work.

Independence

SizeMyGenerator is independently operated and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Generac or any other generator manufacturer. Manufacturer material may be cited as a technical source without creating an affiliation.
