Generator Service & Repair

Generator Service & Repair

Request service if your generator won’t start, shows a fault code, or didn’t power your home during an outage. We’ll diagnose the issue and restore reliable backup power.

Quick Checks Before You Request Service

These quick checks take 1 to 3 minutes and often explain why a generator won’t start, won’t switch power to your home, or isn’t powering the way it should. If you smell gas, hear hissing, see visible damage, or the area is flooded, stop and request service.

Confirm fuel is available

If you use natural gas, confirm the gas valve is fully open. If you use propane, confirm your tank is not low. Fuel issues are a common reason a generator will crank but not start.

Check the breaker on the generator

Most standby generators have a breaker on the unit itself. If it is OFF or tripped, the generator may run but not send power to your home. If it’s tripped, reset it once.

Write down any alert or fault code

Look at the control panel and note any message, warning light, or fault code. This helps us diagnose faster and arrive prepared with the right parts and tools.

Check for a low battery issue

A weak battery can prevent starting. Look for battery-related alerts, and check for loose or corroded battery connections. If you see heavy corrosion, request service.

Confirm what happened during the outage

If the generator started but your home stayed dark, the system may not have switched power over. If utility power has returned, confirm your home’s main power is back on. If the generator ran but never powered the home during the outage, request service so we can test the transfer safely.

Clear airflow around the unit

Remove leaves, palm fronds, and debris around the generator. Keep the sides and vents clear so it can cool properly and run safely.

Storm Season Service Expectations

Storm season is when your generator matters most, and it’s also when service demand is highest. The best way to stay ready is to schedule maintenance well before peak storm months.

Best time to schedule: For most Florida homeowners, the safest window is December through May. You’ll go into summer with a generator that’s been serviced, tested, and documented.

When storms are close: As watches and warnings are issued, we focus on urgent needs first, generators that won’t start, active fault codes, and homes without backup power. Members receive priority scheduling during peak demand. Routine maintenance may pause so we can focus on critical failures.

After a storm: Response times depend on access, conditions, and call volume. We’ll keep you updated and work through requests as quickly and safely as conditions allow. Members are scheduled ahead of non-members during peak demand.

  • Schedule annual maintenance between December and May
  • Keep a few feet of clear space around the generator for airflow
  • Clear palm fronds and debris away from vents and the exhaust area
  • Never store fuel cans or propane cylinders near the unit
  • If a fault code appears, write it down and request service early
  • Confirm your weekly exercise is enabled (and keep Mobile Link notifications on)
