Common whole-home generator issues include clogged air filters due to falling debris, battery failure from lack of use, fuel system issues, and coolant or oil levels dropping. Regular maintenance and timely repairs from our pros can help address these problems before they escalate.
Fall is an ideal time to service your generator because it prepares your equipment for the colder months when power outages are more likely due to storms or snow. Ensuring your generator is in good condition now prevents last-minute breakdowns during the critical winter months later.
Our electrical experts recommend scheduling a professional inspection at least once a year, with fall being the perfect time to do so! If your generator has been heavily used or hasn’t been serviced in a while, an electrical inspection is even more critical.
While some basic tasks like checking oil levels or removing debris can be done at home, it’s best to hire professional technicians for a detailed inspection and repair, especially before the Franklin, TN winter arrives. Our expert team has the expertise to identify and fix any issues you might overlook!
Most fall generator maintenance services take about one to two hours, depending on the condition of your generator and whether a repair or full replacement is needed!
Regularly clear leaves and debris around your generator, check oil and fuel levels, and run your generator for a brief period each month to ensure it remains in good working order. Pairing these actions with a professional check-up from Copeland Home Services will ensure your generator is ready for any situation!
If your whole-home generator is experiencing one or more of the following symptoms, it is likely in need of professional repair from the pros at Copeland Home Services:
The most obvious sign your generator requires repair is if it is not producing electricity. If your generator is failing to power anything in your house, don’t panic—it can likely be repaired without any need to fully replace the unit.
If you find your electronics unable to run properly off your generator, such as lights flickering, or power to appliances or devices going in and out, while using it, there is something wrong with your system.
One of the most common symptoms of a failing generator is delays when starting up. Your generator can still work just fine once it finally gets going, but these significant delays are indicative of imminent failure and should be professionally addressed by Copeland Home Services as soon as possible.
It is advised to thoroughly visually inspect your whole-home generator from time to time and take notes of issues like frayed wires or corrosion. If there is noticeable excessive damage, your generator may be in need of service.
Your generator will only produce any kind of a smell in the event that there is something wrong. This can be due to something burning within the unit, a gas or exhaust leak, and other hazards. If your generator is producing any type of odor, call Copeland Home Services immediately!
Essentially, any time your generator makes itself noticeable, there is an issue—your whole-home generator should really just sit there until it needs to be used, not making any weird noises or smells or anything for that matter. If there is a mechanical or electrical problem within your system, it will produce odd noises that are a symptom of a problem that will likely need to be repaired.
