Repair & Maintenance

Generator Repair & Maintenance in Broward County

A standby generator only protects you if it starts. Most generator failures during an outage come from a dead battery, a missed service or a transfer switch problem that nobody noticed — all things a maintenance visit catches.

Annual & pre-hurricane-season service

Battery test and terminals, oil and filters per the manufacturer's schedule, connections and enclosure check, exercise-cycle review and a full transfer test under load before June 1.

Generator repair & troubleshooting

Won't start, won't transfer, error codes, shutting down under load, or power not coming back after the outage — we diagnose the generator, the automatic transfer switch and the wiring between them.

Transfer switch service & replacement

Automatic transfer switches that stick, fail to retransfer or were undersized for the home get tested, repaired or replaced and brought up to current code.

We service generators we didn't install, too — and we'll tell you upfront whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

FAQ

Generator Services FAQ

What size generator do I need?

The right generator depends on the appliances, equipment, or systems you want to power during an outage. We perform a professional load calculation to recommend the best size for your home or business.

What's the difference between a portable generator and a standby generator?

Portable generators require manual setup and typically power only a few circuits. Standby generators are permanently installed, connect to your electrical system through an automatic transfer switch, and restore power automatically when an outage occurs.

Can a generator power my entire home or business?

Yes. Many standby generators are designed to power an entire home or commercial property, while others can be configured to support only your most critical circuits based on your needs and budget.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We manage all required permits, coordinate inspections, and ensure every installation complies with local electrical and building codes.

How often does a standby generator need maintenance?

At least once a year — ideally before hurricane season starts on June 1 — plus any service the manufacturer specifies by run hours. A generator that sits unmaintained is the most common reason it fails to start during an outage.

Do you repair generators installed by another company?

Yes. We troubleshoot and repair standby generators and automatic transfer switches regardless of who installed them, and give you a written price before any repair.

Do you install generators throughout Broward County?

Yes. We install, repair and maintain generators in every Broward city — including Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, Plantation, Weston, Davie, Coral Springs, Parkland, Tamarac, Pompano Beach, Hollywood and Pembroke Pines — and in Boca Raton and southern Palm Beach County.
