Annual maintenance, PSPS-season pre-checks, and repair for Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins/Onan, and Champion standby generators — so your backup power starts the moment the grid doesn't.
Standby generators are built to sit idle for months and then start instantly under full load. That's a demanding ask. Without periodic service — whether the unit has run or not — the machine that's supposed to save your week may simply not start.
A failed battery is one of the most common reasons generators don't start when called. So is a low-oil cutoff or a transfer switch fault. These are exactly the items a scheduled service catches before an outage does.
Most major brands — Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins/Onan — require documented annual maintenance as a warranty condition. A failure attributed to neglected maintenance may not be a covered claim.
Annual maintenance keeps your generator ready for the moment that matters — the PSPS event, the grid failure after a storm, the multi-day outage that turns your neighbor's week upside down while yours stays normal. Oil and filter change, spark plug and air filter, battery voltage and load test, coolant check on liquid-cooled units, transfer switch operation test, fuel system check, and exercise-cycle verification — done on a schedule, done correctly, by manufacturer-authorized technicians who know the difference between a generator that needs a part and one that needs an adjustment. We provide a service record after every visit for your warranty file and a future home sale. We service generators we installed and generators installed by others — CSLB #938027, since 2007.
The full manufacturer-specified service interval for a residential standby generator — annual or by runtime hours, whichever comes first. Our most-requested visit.
A focused inspection before wildfire season — not a full annual service — to confirm the generator is ready before PSPS events begin across SCE and LADWP territories.
For a generator that fails to start or performs abnormally. Scheduled during business hours for all major brands — whether we installed the unit or not.
Tell us your generator's brand and roughly when it was last serviced. We book a no-pressure assessment, an annual service, a PSPS pre-check, or a diagnostic visit — whatever the unit needs — during business hours.
On the first visit for a generator new to us, we perform a baseline inspection to document the unit's condition and bring its maintenance record current — regardless of who installed it.
For maintenance, we work the full service checklist. For a fault, our technicians diagnose the cause — commonly a failed battery, low-oil cutoff, or transfer switch fault — and explain what's needed.
If a repair is required beyond routine service, we provide a transparent estimate and your approval is on the record before any parts are ordered.
You receive a service record after every visit — a document you keep for warranty purposes and for a future home sale. We stay your generator's service relationship for as long as you own it.
