Signs Your Generac Standby Generator Needs Maintenance or Repair

Your Generac standby generator was built to last a long time, but nothing lasts forever. However, with some general maintenance and repairs, we can extend the life of your generator longer than expected. So, what are the signs your generator needs maintenance or repair? Some more common issues that may require repair are:

Sometimes your generator’s circuit can trip, which can lead to your generator failing. Not to worry, we can help. We have certified technicians that can repair your circuit breaker or help you get it replaced if need be.

If your generator has low coolant levels, it may have an external or internal leak, and this could cause the unit to fail. To avoid this from happening, contact us for routine maintenance service. We will make sure your generator’s coolant levels are good and there are no leaks to worry about.

Generators are expected to be loud during operation, but if your generator should start sounding louder than usual, this may be a sign that it is working harder to generate power.

Overusing your generator can cause it to get extremely hot and overheat, which can cause it to fail.

If your generator leaks fuel or oil, it can run dry and this can damage the engine substantially. Contact us immediately so we can send someone out to repair your standby generator.

Battery failure is one of the most common reasons generators fail. There are several reasons your generator’s battery can fail: it may be because of loosening connections in the wiring, a tripped breaker, a sulfate buildup, or another issue.

Your generator needs to be installed on a flat surface for it to run properly. We can have your generator installed the right way in no time.

"I'm very pleased with the job Vance and his employees did with installing a backup generator. From providing a detailed estimate to setting the generator to final hookup and testing, Vance and his team were professional and reliable. I chose to go with Vance after researching 4 brands and 7 companies. His estimate was the most competitive and Generac offered the best warranty."

"Positive : Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

This was the fourth bid I had gotten for installing a whole house generator. The company came out to provide a quote very quickly, were extremely helpful in explaining all of my available options, and had a very competitive price. Furthermore, I felt very secure in their knowledge of what they were doing. Cannot list a single fault in the service I received."
