Common Generator Problems We Diagnose and Fix

A standby generator is a complex machine with multiple systems that can fail. A successful repair depends on accurately diagnosing the root cause, which requires a technician with expertise in both engines and electrical systems. Below are common failure points that require professional attention.

  • Failure to Start: This is the most common issue, often caused by a dead battery, a faulty starter, a clogged fuel line, or old, contaminated fuel that won't combust properly.
  • System Overload: If the generator starts but then shuts down, it may be because the electrical load from your home is greater than the generator's capacity, causing safety circuits to trip.
  • Leaks (Oil, Fuel, or Coolant): Any fluid leak is a serious problem that can lead to engine damage or a fire hazard. This can be caused by cracked lines, worn seals, or blockages.
  • Transfer Switch Malfunctions: The automatic transfer switch (ATS) is the brain of the operation. If it fails, the generator may run, but it will not be able to power your home.
  • Running Roughly or Not Producing Power: Issues with the alternator, voltage regulator, or engine components can cause the generator to run poorly or fail to produce a stable supply of electricity.

Attempting to diagnose these issues without specialized training can be dangerous and may lead to further damage. A certified technician has the tools and knowledge to safely identify and resolve the problem.

Why Certified Technicians Are Essential for Generator Repair

Generators combine high-voltage electricity with combustible fuel, making them uniquely hazardous to service without proper training. A certified technician understands these risks and follows strict safety protocols to protect your property from damage and your family from harm during the repair process.

Many generator warranties require that all service and repairs be performed by an authorized or certified technician. Using an unqualified person for repairs can void your warranty, leaving you responsible for the full cost of any future component failures, which can be extremely expensive.

A certified technician has access to the correct diagnostic equipment, technical manuals, and genuine parts for your specific make and model. This specialized knowledge ensures the problem is fixed correctly the first time, preventing repeat failures and ensuring peak performance when you need it.
