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 River Falls, WI.

Talk to a real person
How often should a home generator be serviced?
Follow the maintenance schedule in your generator's manual, because intervals vary by model. Most standby generators need service at least once a year, and portable generators benefit from fresh fuel, an oil check and a test run before storm season.
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.
What does an automatic transfer switch do?
It moves your home from utility power to the generator when the power goes out, and back again when it returns. It also prevents the generator from feeding power back into the grid, which protects utility workers.
Why does my generator surge or stall?
Surging is often caused by dirty fuel, a clogged carburetor or filter, or a fuel supply problem. Stalling can also come from low oil, an overload or a failing sensor.
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.
