How a generator repair works
- Tell us what’s happening. Call or email us and describe what the generator is doing. A photo of the control panel and any warning codes helps.
- We find the fault. A technician assesses the unit, diagnoses the problem and explains what needs to be fixed.
- We repair and test. After the repair we test the generator under load, so you know it will carry your building when the power goes.
Don’t wait for the next outage
Many generator faults only show up when the power fails, because standby units can sit idle for weeks. If your generator struggled during the last outage, have it checked now rather than finding out when you need it most. Regular generator servicing prevents most breakdowns, and our generator FAQs cover the warning signs to look out for.
