Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A dead or failing battery is one of the most common reasons a standby generator will not start, along with transfer switch issues and sensors that have not been tested in a routine maintenance visit. In Naples, humidity and salt air can accelerate wear on these components. Our team can diagnose the exact cause and get your generator working again, regardless of the brand.
Most manufacturers recommend servicing a standby generator at least once a year. Homes in Naples exposed to salt air and heavy humidity often benefit from more frequent checkups to catch corrosion or wear before it causes a failure.
This usually points to a transfer switch that is not engaging properly or a wiring issue between the generator and your home’s electrical panel. It is not something to troubleshoot on your own, since the transfer switch handles high voltage and needs to be inspected by a licensed technician.
Standby generators combine electrical and mechanical parts, so not every electrician has the manufacturer-specific training to repair them correctly. Our technicians are trained across major manufacturers, including Generac, Kohler, and Cummins, so repairs follow each brand’s manufacturer standards, whatever unit you own.
When to Consider Generator Repair
A generator that is not performing the way it should rarely gets better on its own. You may need generator repair if:
- Your generator does not start automatically when the power goes out
- The unit runs but is not producing power to your home
- You notice unusual noises, smoke, or a strong fuel smell during operation
- Error codes or warning lights are showing on the control panel
- Your generator starts and stops unexpectedly
- Your generator has not been serviced in over a year and is due for an inspection
Addressing problems early can prevent a minor issue from becoming a full generator failure during an outage.
What to Expect During Generator Repair
Every repair call follows a clear process so you understand what is happening with your generator and why.
1. Diagnostics and Load Testing
Before any repair begins, our technicians inspect the generator and run diagnostic tests to identify the cause. Depending on the symptoms, that may include checking the battery, sensors, controls, transfer switch, fuel system, or other components.
We explain what we find and walk you through the recommended repair before we begin work.
2. Generator Repair
Once we identify the issue, our technicians repair or replace the affected components and address the underlying cause rather than simply resetting the unit and leaving.
Because we work on major generator brands including Generac, Kohler, and Cummins, we can diagnose a wide range of standby generator problems regardless of which system you own.
3. Factory-Authorized Warranty Repair
If your generator is still covered by a manufacturer warranty, proper repair procedures matter. Always On Generators performs factory-authorized warranty work when applicable so repairs follow manufacturer requirements and help protect your existing coverage.
Our team can review the system and warranty status before recommending the appropriate repair.
4. Testing and Confirmation
Once repairs are complete, we test the generator to confirm it starts, runs, and responds properly before we consider the job finished.
This final check helps make sure your backup power system is ready for the next outage. If an outage is already happening when your generator fails, our team is available for emergency service around the clock.
