Resolving All Your Generator Issues
Standby Generator Repair Services
Your whole-home generator is a vital component of your home, especially during severe weather or unexpected power outages. Common problems like no-start issues after a storm, unexpected shutdowns, or incomplete cycles can leave your family without backup power when you need it most.
Our licensed technicians are trained to diagnose and repair these issues quickly, restoring uninterrupted power to your essential appliances. We also address error alerts and warning lights on standby generators, which often indicate deeper issues with your natural gas or fuel system.
Experienced with Generac & Honeywell Systems
We provide generator repair services for Generac and Honeywell whole-home generators. Our expertise extends to home standby generator systems that power your entire home. Regardless of the issue, we are equipped to handle your generator repair needs.
We do not service portable generators.
Diagnostic Services
Common Generator Problems We Fix
From no-start conditions to component replacement, our technicians handle every type of standby generator issue.
No Start-Issues
The generator won’t start during a power outage or during a scheduled exercise cycle. We diagnose problems with the battery, starter, and control board.
Error Codes & Alerts
Warning lights or error codes on your Generac or Honeywell system often signal fuel, oil pressure, or overcrank conditions that need attention.
Transfer Switch Failures
If your generator runs but doesn’t power your home, the transfer switch may need repair or replacement. We handle transfer switch installation and repair.
Battery & Charging Issues
A weak or dead battery is one of the most common reasons a standby generator fails. We test and replace batteries and repair charging circuits.
Unexpected Shutdowns
Generators that shut down mid-cycle may have overheating, low oil, or fuel supply issues. Our diagnostic services pinpoint and resolve the root cause.
Component Replacement
Worn parts like voltage regulators, fuel pumps, and control boards can be replaced to extend the life of your home generator and avoid costly system upgrades.
Emergency Power You Can Count On
Prepare Your Generator for Hurricane Season
Don’t wait until severe weather arrives to find out your generator isn’t working. When a hurricane or storm knocks out power across Metairie, LA, a properly maintained home standby generator provides peace of mind and keeps your family safe.
One of the most significant risks during extended power outages is food spoilage, especially in the heat of southeast Louisiana. By scheduling routine maintenance and addressing needed emergency repairs before storm season, we help protect your home and keep essential appliances running.
