Generator Repair

The electricians in our network handle the full range: units that won't start, rough or surging engines, dead batteries, clogged fuel systems, faulty transfer switches, and control boards throwing error codes. They work on both standby and portable generators, diagnose the fault, replace worn parts, and load-test the unit so it's ready for the next outage.

Basic upkeep like checking the oil or swapping the battery is fine to do yourself, but anything involving the fuel system, electrical controls, or the transfer switch belongs with a pro. Those components carry real shock and fire risk, and a licensed electrician has the testing tools to find the actual cause instead of guessing. Hiring a professional gets it fixed safely and right the first time.

Cost comes down to the part that failed, whether it's a standby or portable unit, and how much labor the diagnosis and fix take. Most repairs land between $150 and $600, with a simple battery or spark plug at the low end and a transfer switch or control board replacement running higher. The electrician gives you a clear price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
