Professional Generator Services in Ann Arbor

Whole-home generators are a great way to avoid dealing with the inconvenience of a power outage. But like all machines, generators eventually can break. Parts can wear out, especially after prolonged use. For example, belts can dry out and break or crack from friction over time. When that happens, your generator can fail suddenly. Other components can fail just from sitting around too long. Dead starter batteries are among the most common reasons a generator won’t start. No matter the generator issues you’re having, count on our experts to isolate the problem and fix it immediately.

Some common generator repairs we perform include:
  • Fuel line replacements
  • Replacement of damaged wiring
  • Replacement of transfer switches
  • Coolant system repairs

Common Signs Your Generator Needs Repair

When the power fails, you expect your generator to start right up to meet your home’s demand. If it doesn’t, the need for repair becomes obvious. However, there’s a whole range of subtler symptoms that can tip you off to the need for repairs. For example, warning lights and error codes exist specifically to let you know your generator needs attention. You may also notice unusual smells coming from your generator when it needs servicing. It’s important that you schedule a visit from one of our experts as soon as you spot anything unusual. Timely intervention can avert a generator failure when you need yours most.

Watch for the following signs that your generator needs repair:
  • Strange sounds while running
  • Difficulty starting
  • Leaks
  • Inconsistent power output
  • Failed self-tests
