Key Indicators That Your Generac Requires Repair

The performance of your Generac standby generator is directly related to the condition of its critical electrical and mechanical components. During a weekly test run or when the power goes out, any deviation from smooth, quiet operation is a sign that repair is likely necessary. Addressing these indicators early on can prevent a total system failure during a critical storm event common in Cobb County.

• Failing to Start Automatically: This is the primary issue, often caused by a low or dead battery, or if the unit is running low on oil or fuel supply.
• Displaying Fault Codes: The control panel shows specific error numbers (e.g., 1505 RPM Sensor or 1300 Low Oil Pressure), which demand a professional diagnosis.
• Engine Surging or Unstable RPMs: The engine speed fluctuates noticeably, indicating potential issues with the voltage regulator or fuel system cleanliness.
• Physical Leaks: Observing oil, coolant, or fuel pooling underneath the unit, which signals a breach in a hose, seal, or gasket that requires immediate mechanical attention.
• Tripping Breakers: The generator runs, but the main line circuit breaker (MLCB) trips, suggesting an overload issue or a fault in the power output system like the AVR.

Our Professional Generac Repair and Testing Procedure

We know that trust in your backup power is non-negotiable, especially in Cobb County where storms frequently cause outages. When we perform Generac Repair, we use a systematic approach to accurately diagnose the fault and deliver a reliable fix. Our process ensures that the repair not only addresses the symptom but also corrects the underlying electrical or mechanical failure.

Our skilled technicians first interrogate the generator's control panel to log and interpret all active and historic fault codes, giving us an immediate direction for diagnosis. We then physically inspect and test the health of the battery, spark plugs, and fluid levels. Once the core problem is isolated—be it a component like the Automatic Voltage Regulator or a fuel system obstruction—we use professional-grade tools and parts for the repair.

• We perform a full diagnostic check, reading all Generac error codes to identify system malfunctions, such as low oil pressure or overcrank issues.
• Our team inspects the battery voltage and terminals, replacing the battery if testing shows it cannot hold a charge or if it is nearing the end of its life.
• We test the engine's critical components, including spark plugs, ignition coils, and fuel pressure, ensuring correct combustion and stable running.
• We repair or replace faulty electrical components like the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) or voltage regulators to restore consistent power output.
• After the repair, we run the generator through a simulated load test to verify that it starts, transfers power, and sustains full operation without errors or shutdowns.
• We clear all fault codes and confirm the generator is placed back into AUTO mode, ready to activate automatically during the next utility outage.
