## Why it ranks here

Colonial Generators scores 53.8 out of 100, and most of its points come from claim accuracy (22.2 of 22.2 possible) and years in business (11.1 of 11.1 possible). It loses the most on the Google rating, 37.1 of 44.4 points, with a Google rating of 3.3 from 48 reviews, which counts as 3.75 once adjusted for the number of reviews, against 5.0 for full credit. It earns no bonus points: we did not find published prices, 24/7 service shown in its Google hours or a written workmanship warranty with a stated term on its website.
