Generator Repair in Simi Valley, CA

So you have a generator, and you think you’re all set for the next power outage. But what happens when things don’t go quite as planned? Like any piece of machinery, a generator can have its fair share of hiccups, and it’s good to know what to watch out for.

Here’s a quick rundown of some common issues that might pop up with your generator so you can stay one step ahead of the game.

• Transfer Switch Issues: The transfer switch is a critical component — it’s what safely connects your generator to your home’s electrical system. If it’s not working right, you might find yourself without power, even if your generator is humming away just fine.
• Fuel Pump Problems: If the fuel pump in your generator isn’t working properly, the engine might not get the fuel it needs to keep running. This can lead to frustrating shutdowns or failure to start at all.
• Electric Power Failures: Sometimes, the issue might be with the generator’s ability to produce electricity even when the engine is running. This could be due to a variety of electrical issues, from faulty wiring to problems with the alternator.

Keeping an eye on these parts and scheduling regular maintenance can help keep your generator ready to go when you really need it.
