When you call us, you’re talking to real people who understand that your generator isn’t just equipment—it’s your family’s security during power outages.
Local families trust us because we show up when we say we will, fix what’s broken, and make sure it stays fixed.
Generator Repair Process
First, we listen to what’s happening with your generator. Is it not starting? Running rough? Shutting off unexpectedly? We ask the right questions to understand the problem before we even arrive.
Our technician shows up in a fully stocked truck, ready to diagnose the issue on the spot. We test your system, identify what’s wrong, and explain exactly what needs fixing—along with the flat-rate cost before any work begins.
Once you approve the repair, we get to work. We fix the problem, test the generator through a full cycle, and make sure everything runs properly. You don’t pay until the generator works correctly and you’re completely satisfied with the repair.
Complete Generator Repair Coverage
We repair every major generator brand—Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and others. Whether your generator is five years old or fifteen, we have the experience to diagnose and fix the problem.
Common repairs include starting issues, fuel system problems, electrical connections, transfer switch malfunctions, and routine maintenance that’s been neglected. We also handle emergency repairs when your generator fails during an active outage.
In Lowes Grove, where summer storms and winter weather can knock out power for hours or days, having a generator that actually works isn’t optional. We make sure your backup power system is ready before you need it, not after it’s already failed you.
How quickly can you repair my generator during a power outage?
We prioritize emergency generator repairs during active outages and typically respond within a few hours. Our trucks stay stocked with common repair parts, so most issues get fixed on the first visit.
However, complex repairs that require special-order parts might take longer. That’s why we recommend regular maintenance to catch problems before they leave you without backup power when you need it most.
If your generator is completely down during an outage, we’ll do everything possible to get at least partial power restored quickly, then complete any remaining work once parts arrive.
What's the most common reason generators fail to start?
Most starting problems come down to three things: old fuel, dead batteries, or dirty air filters. Generators that sit unused for months develop fuel problems, especially with ethanol-blended gasoline that breaks down over time.
Battery issues are also common because many homeowners forget that generators need battery maintenance just like cars. Corroded connections or weak batteries prevent the starter from turning over.
Regular maintenance prevents most of these problems. We check fuel quality, test batteries, clean connections, and replace filters during routine service visits. It’s much cheaper than emergency repairs during a storm.
Do you work on generators you didn't install originally?
Absolutely. We repair generators regardless of who installed them or where they were purchased. Whether you bought from a big box store, online, or had another contractor install it, we can diagnose and fix the problem.
We work on all major brands and have the diagnostic tools needed for different manufacturers. Our experience with various installation methods also helps us spot problems that might have been created during the original installation.
The only thing we care about is getting your generator working properly. We’ll give you honest advice about whether a repair makes sense or if replacement would be more cost-effective.
How often should I have my generator serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend service every six months or after 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. For standby generators that run weekly exercise cycles, this usually means twice-yearly maintenance.
Regular service includes oil changes, filter replacement, battery testing, fuel system cleaning, and checking all electrical connections. We also test the automatic transfer switch and run the generator through a full load cycle.
Skipping maintenance might save money short-term, but it almost always leads to expensive repairs later. A generator that fails during a storm outage costs much more to fix than one that gets regular preventive care.
What happens if my generator needs parts you don't have?
We stock the most common repair parts in our trucks, but some repairs require special-order components. When this happens, we’ll give you a timeline for getting the part and completing the repair.
For emergency situations, we sometimes can provide temporary solutions to restore partial power while waiting for the correct part. This might mean bypassing a failed component or making safe temporary repairs.
We work with multiple suppliers to get parts as quickly as possible. Most standard components arrive within a few business days, though some specialized parts for older generators might take longer.
Can you repair generators that haven't run in several years?
Yes, but generators that have sat unused often need extensive work. Fuel systems get gummed up, seals dry out, batteries die, and corrosion builds up in electrical connections.
We’ll do a complete diagnostic to identify all the problems before starting any work. Sometimes the repair costs approach replacement costs, especially for older units. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair makes financial sense.
If you decide to proceed with repairs, we’ll address all the issues systematically. This usually includes fuel system cleaning, oil changes, filter replacement, battery service, and testing all safety systems before putting the generator back in service.
