Timely Repairs Are Crucial for Your Whole-House Generator

In Shelby Township, natural phenomena like heavy snowstorms, ice storms, and thunderstorms can lead to unexpected power outages. While these events may not happen every day, they can cause long-lasting disruptions when they do. Winter ice and snow can bring down trees and power lines, while strong winds from storms or tornadoes interrupt power supply.

That’s why your whole-house generator must be kept functioning correctly. It ensures that your home remains powered, keeping essential systems like heating, refrigeration, and lighting running when the electricity goes out. However, to rely on your generator during these critical times, it’s important to keep it in peak condition with regular repairs and maintenance.

At Elite Heating and Cooling, we understand the importance of a reliable backup power source. We offer expert repair services to ensure your generator is always ready.  Don’t wait for an outage to discover a problem, keep your home safe, warm, and powered year-round.

Signs That Your Whole-House Generator Needs Repair

Your whole-house generator plays a vital role in keeping your home prepared for emergencies. However, like any home system, generators can experience issues over time. Knowing the signs that your generator needs repair can help you address problems early and avoid losing power when you need it most.

Difficulty Starting

If your generator struggles or fails to start, this could be a sign of a mechanical or electrical issue. Problems with the starter motor, battery, or fuel system are common causes. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues, but if starting becomes a challenge, it’s time to schedule a repair.

A generator should run smoothly and quietly. Strange noises such as knocking, sputtering, or grinding often indicate underlying problems, like worn-out components, loose connections, or debris in the system. Addressing these sounds quickly can prevent further damage.

If your generator isn’t providing sufficient power to run your home’s essential appliances or the lights flicker when it’s operating, there might be an issue with the generator’s alternator, fuel delivery, or control panel. Low power output reduces your system’s reliability and efficiency.

Modern generators have control panels that display warning lights or error codes when something isn’t working properly. These indicators are designed to alert you to issues that require immediate attention. Consult your generator’s manual or call a professional to diagnose the problem.

Check your generator periodically for signs of physical damage, such as frayed wires, corroded connections, or leaking fluids. Any visible issues could lead to performance problems and should be addressed by a technician as soon as possible.

3 Simple Things to Check First

These simple steps can help restore the operation of your heater while waiting for a technician:

Check the Fuel Level

Ensure the generator has enough fuel. Low or empty fuel is a common cause of a generator stopping, and it's easy to check and top off.

Inspect the Breaker Panel

Check for tripped circuit breakers in the generator's control panel. Resetting the breakers can resolve a minor issue

Examine the Battery

Check the generator's battery to ensure it's charged. If the battery is low or dead, you can jump-start or replace it temporarily.

I contacted Condor Heating through Thumbtack, and they sent a technician the same day. He was professional, knowledgeable, and provided a thorough inspection of my heater. He gave me valuable feedback on whether to replace the gas valve or consider a new heater since mine is from 2009. They also provided a detailed quote and explanation via email. I really appreciated how they worked with me, explained my options clearly, and even waived the service call fee. I usually rely on the number of reviews when deciding who to call, but after working with Condor Heating, I’ve changed my perspective. Their service was excellent—highly recommend!

I’m a landlord. I’ve had many furnace inspections over the years for rental license renewals and I can say that Peter and Chris conducted the most thorough furnace inspections with the newest equipment that I’ve ever had done. My tenants and I can rest at night, knowing that they are safe from carbon monoxide. They showed up on time they were efficient and they were thorough. I use them for my business and I will also use them for my personal residence. Thanks again Elite Degrees!! Dave

Early on a cold morning, our furnace stopped working that supplies heat to our first floor and finished basement. I called them at 7:15AM and Peter took my call and dispatched Brandon to our house. Brandon was excellent! He was polite, respectful, and thorough. He had our Bryant Plus 90 up and running in no time after installing a new inducer and pressure switch. I highly recommend Condor Heating & Cooling!

Our FAQ

Can I perform generator repairs myself?

It’s not recommended to attempt generator repairs on your own. Generators are complex systems that require specialized knowledge. Hiring a licensed professional ensures the repair is done safely and correctly.

What causes a whole-house generator to stop working?

Generators may fail due to issues like fuel supply problems, battery failure, clogged air filters, or worn-out components. Regular maintenance can help prevent these common issues.

How often should my generator be serviced to avoid repairs?

Most manufacturers recommend servicing your generator at least once a year, or after every 100-200 hours of use. Regular maintenance helps catch small problems before they turn into major repairs.

What happens if I don’t repair my generator promptly?

Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage, higher repair costs, and an unreliable generator when you need it most. Prompt repairs ensure your backup power system remains dependable.
