Signs You Need Generator Repair

Generators are complex machines that have many different parts, and while they are built to last, they can still break down. Regular maintenance and proper installation can help prevent many minor repairs. However, even the most well-maintained and expertly installed generator can still experience problems over time.

If you notice that your generator is not working as it should, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible. Ignoring a minor repair can lead to a major breakdown, which can be expensive to fix. Additionally, improper installation or delayed repairs can leave you without power during a storm, which can be dangerous.

Some common generator problems include:

• Dead battery- The battery is responsible for starting the generator. If the battery is dead, the generator will not start. Regular maintenance, including checking the battery, can help prevent this from happening.
• Low coolant- The coolant is responsible for keeping the generator from overheating. If the generator has low coolant, it can overheat, causing it to shut down. This can be a serious problem, especially if you are relying on your generator for power during a storm.
• Worn-out spark plug- The spark plug is responsible for igniting the fuel in the engine. If the spark plug is worn out, it can cause the generator to run rough or not start at all.
• Dirty air filter- The air filter is responsible for keeping the engine clean. If the air filter is dirty, it can cause the engine to run rough or not start at all. Regular maintenance, including changing the air filter, can help prevent this from happening.
• Loose or damaged wires- The wires are responsible for delivering power to the generator. If the wires are loose or damaged, it can cause the generator to run rough or not start at all. Regular maintenance, including checking the wires, can help prevent this from happening.
• Old fuel- The fuel is responsible for powering the generator. If the fuel is old, it can cause the generator to run rough or not start at all. Regular maintenance, including changing the fuel, can help prevent this from happening.

Generator Repair vs. Replacement

One of the most common questions we get from our customers is whether they should repair or replace their generator. As a general rule of thumb, if the cost of the repair is more than half the cost of a new generator, you should consider replacing it.

However, this is not always the case. Many factors can affect the cost of the repair, including the make and model of your generator, the type of repair needed, and the availability of the parts.

Our technicians will be able to give you an accurate estimate for the cost of the repair and help you decide whether it is worth fixing or if you should replace it.
