Pittsburgh, PA Generator Repair
Your generator is literally your home’s lifeline in a power outage emergency. Maintenance will ensure that it stays it good shape, and can prevent the majority of repair needs your system may ever need in its lifetime. Still though, it’s wise to be aware of the signs that your generator needs repair, so you can get it managed right away and continue relying on a system that’s ready at a moment’s notice. What are these signs?
-
Worn Down Electrical Components: During maintenance, our Pittsburgh technicians will take a close look at the wiring, controls, and all other electrical elements of your generator. If we see any signs of damage, we will alert you to repair needs. This can include frayed wiring, loose connectors, controls/buttons that stay stuck when you press them, or an overload that shuts the generator down while it is running.
-
Leaks: No, we aren’t talking about water leaks. We’re talking about a gas line leak, which can be hazardous. Even if you have a portable generator, this relies on gas or oil, which means the opportunity for a harmful leak is there. Check around your standby or portable system for any pooling or moisture, and call our technicians if you spot anything unusual.
-
Hard Time Starting Up or Running: If a generator sits for too long, the lack of use can drain the battery and ultimately damage other parts of the engine. If your generator cycles on during a power outage but you notice it’s struggling to do so, it’s definitely a sign that you should call for generator repair.
