Financing
Synchrony financing is available for your standby generator project, subject to credit approval.
Financing: an overview
For many homeowners, a standby generator is one of the bigger home improvement purchases they’ll make. If you’d rather spread out the cost, Kelm offers financing through Synchrony, subject to credit approval.
You can apply online with Synchrony before or after we talk through your project. Terms and approval are set by Synchrony based on your application, so we don’t list them here.
Whatever you decide, we’ll make sure the system you choose is sized to what you actually need, so you’re not financing more generator than your home requires.
