A standby generator is wired into your home and fuel supply and starts by itself when the power fails. That convenience also means more parts that can fail: the engine, the battery, the controller, the fuel connection and the transfer switch.

Common standby generator problems include:

  • A battery that has lost charge, which is one of the most common reasons a standby unit will not start
  • Fault codes or warning lights on the controller
  • A transfer switch that does not move the load to the generator
  • Fuel supply problems, including closed valves or low pressure
  • A generator that starts and then shuts down
  • A unit that has not been exercised or serviced for a long time

Repairs start with reading the codes and checking the basics, then testing the engine and the transfer switch. Call and describe what your generator shows, and we will connect you with a local provider who works on standby systems.

Standby Generator Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Standby Generator Repair

Questions we hear most often about Standby Generator Repair in Whiting, IA.

Talk to a real person
Why won't my home generator start?
The most common causes are a weak or dead battery, stale fuel or a clogged fuel filter, a dirty air filter, a worn spark plug, low oil, or a control board fault. Check whether the generator shows an error code, and note whether it clicks, cranks or does nothing. Those details point to the cause.
What is the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator?
A standby generator is permanently installed, runs on natural gas or propane and starts automatically when the power fails. A portable generator is moved by hand, runs on gasoline or propane, and you start it and connect it yourself.
Why does my generator run but the house has no power?
The usual causes are a failed transfer switch, a tripped breaker, a damaged outlet or a failed voltage regulator. Because it involves your electrical system, it should be checked by a qualified person.
Can I run a generator in a garage or near the house?
No. Generators produce carbon monoxide, which can kill. Never run one indoors, in a garage or in a partly enclosed space. Keep it outside and well away from windows, doors and vents, and install carbon monoxide alarms in your home.
How much does generator repair cost?
It depends on the generator, the fault and the parts. A battery replacement is a different job from a fuel system or transfer switch repair. Call and describe the problem, and ask for an estimate.
