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.
