Generator repair and maintenance in Dallas
Service, testing and repair for standby generators and transfer switches.
Short answer: A standby generator that sits for months can fail when you need it. We service, test and repair standby generators and transfer switches so they start when the grid goes down.
Batteries weaken, oil ages, and transfer switch contacts corrode. A yearly service and a load test catch problems before a storm, not during one.
We change oil and filters, test the battery and starter, check the transfer switch, and run the generator under load.
