⚡ Call Now: (817) 458-8373Common Generator Problems We Fix
If you've been troubleshooting and one of these matches your symptoms, we can fix it. Most generator problems come down to one of these failure modes:
⚡ Won't Start
Cranks but won't catch, or no response at all. Usually battery, fuel system, or starter related. Quick diagnosis on site.
🔋 Battery Failure
Generator batteries die quietly. Replacement runs $150-$300 typically — and we'll test the charging system at the same time.
⚙️ Won't Stay Running
Starts, runs for a few seconds, stops. Usually fuel delivery (clogged filter, bad pump) or governor sensor.
🌡 Overheating
Coolant low, radiator clogged, or fan belt issues. Critical to fix before it becomes engine damage.
📊 Low Output
Powers some circuits but trips the breakers under load. Voltage regulator, capacitor, or alternator issues.
🔔 Alarms / Codes
Modern Generac, Kohler, and Cummins units throw error codes. We carry the diagnostic readers for all major brands.
💧 Oil Leaks
Gasket failure or seal degradation. Catch it early to avoid major engine repair.
🚫 Auto-Transfer Switch
Generator runs but isn't transferring load to the house. ATS fault or wiring issue.
