Signs Your Standby Generator Needs Repair
When you notice these warning signs, get your generator repaired so you’re always prepared:
- Generator startup problem: Generators normally sit idle and unused for a long time, and lack of use can drain the battery. Over time, parts of your generator can develop wear and tear issues or become loose. You need your generator to start immediately when needed, so call Robin Aire for prompt repairs.
- Leaking generator: You may have a hazardous coolant, oil, or fuel leak. Check for signs like small puddles or drops nearby. Call our experienced, licensed electricians in SE Michigan for generator repair if you see or smell anything.
- Worn wiring: Our recommended annual generator inspection includes a professional evaluation of the electrical components and connections, looking for frayed wires and inoperable buttons. If you notice these signs, our team is ready to test the voltage and repair your generator so it runs properly and safely.
- Diagnostics alert: Top-quality whole-home generators run self-tests to warn you of potential problems. Our generator repair team can inspect the unit and make any needed repairs.
- Generator maintenance overdue: Ideally, schedule a quick, professional generator tune-up each year. Then you may never need a major generator repair!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fix my own generator?
Like most heavy equipment involving gas or electricity, the amount of DIY and troubleshooting that’s safe is limited. Make sure no fuses have blown and that no breakers have tripped on your generator or in your home, check any filters, check your battery charge if you have one, check spark plugs if you have one, and check settings to make sure it’s supposed to be turning on. Past that, it’s probably time to call a professional.
How can I avoid generator problems?
Keeping up with annual professional maintenance of your generator and checking the manufacturer’s guide for basic end-user maintenance will go a long way toward preventing problems. If the only time you think about your generator is when you need it, it’s likely that serious issues will sneak up and leave you sitting in the dark on a stormy evening.
Should I be worried if something seems wrong with my generator?
If you notice odd behaviors from any generator, getting professional assistance is best instead of running it and hoping for the best. Even if your generator uses batteries and doesn’t have the risks of fuel leaks or ventilation problems, it can still be an electrical and fire hazard. Repairs can get more complicated with time, including damage that requires a full replacement of a system that could have been saved.
