Signs You Need Generator Repair
Your generator will likely let you know when it needs professional repairs, but keeping a keen eye out for these signs can help you detect early system issues and ensure reliable service for years to come.
Signs you need generator repair include:
- Visible signs of damage: Routinely inspect your generator to ensure it’s not damaged and all electrical and fuel connections are sound. Looking for damage to the unit’s exterior, frayed wiring, and pest damage.
- Slow start-up: Your transfer switch should seamlessly transfer power to your generator during an outage. If your generator takes more than a moment or two to turn on, you may be experiencing signs of a clogged fuel value, low oil levels, or a faulty spark plug.
- System alerts: Modern generators can alert you when they need service by automatically initiating weekly testing and providing a detailed diagnostic assessment of the system. Keep an eye out for these reports and seek professional repairs when alerted.
