Most generator problems show up before the next outage, if you know where to look. Call us if you notice any of these:
A weak battery is one of the most common reasons a standby generator will not start. Heat shortens battery life, and a failed charger can drain a good battery. We test both.
If the generator runs but your home does not switch over, the problem is often in the transfer switch, its controls or the wiring between the switch and the generator. That includes switches that were installed wrong in the first place.
A low propane tank, a closed valve, an undersized gas line or a regulator problem can starve the engine. It may start, then stall when the load comes on.
Controllers log fault codes for low oil pressure, overspeed, overcrank and similar conditions. We read the code and the fault history, then trace it to the sensor, the wiring or the engine problem behind it. Rodents and insects nesting in the enclosure can also damage wiring.
Old oil, clogged filters and worn spark plugs cause a lot of avoidable failures, especially after a long storm run. Scheduled maintenance prevents most of them.
We start with the history: what happened, the fault codes and when it was last serviced. Then we check the battery and charger, the controller, the fuel supply and the transfer switch. Where it is safe to, we run the generator under load. You get a plain explanation of what failed and the repair options, with a price, before we fix anything. After the repair, we run the system again to confirm it starts, transfers and carries your home.
If the unit is old and the repair costs a lot, we tell you whether repairing it still makes sense or whether replacing the generator is the better money.
We repair Generac, Kohler and Briggs & Stratton home standby generators, whether we installed them or not. If you have another brand, call with the model number and we will tell you straight away whether we can service it. Another customer called us to fix a generator transfer switch that another company’s subcontractor had installed wrong, and we had it working before hurricane season.
A few checks can save a service call. Do not open the generator’s electrical compartment or the transfer switch.
For a generator failure during an outage, call (954) 636-4288 day or night. Tell us the make, the model and any fault code, and we will tell you honestly when we can be there. After a major storm, demand is high across Broward and Palm Beach, which is another reason to get the generator serviced before hurricane season.

Allsite Electric is a licensed Florida electrical contractor based in Sunrise, serving homes and businesses across Broward and Palm Beach counties. We are electricians first, so we can trace faults through the generator, the transfer switch and your home’s wiring, not just the engine.
Tell us the make, the model, what it is doing and any fault code.
We test the battery, controller, fuel supply and transfer switch.
You approve the repair and the price before we start.
We confirm it starts, transfers and carries your home.
The most common causes are a weak battery, a failed battery charger, a fuel supply problem or a controller fault. Check that the controller is set to Auto and note any fault code, then call us. We test each part rather than guessing.
The generator is running, but the power is not reaching your home. That usually points to the transfer switch, its control wiring or a tripped breaker on the generator. It needs a licensed electrician. Do not try to switch it over by hand.
Yes. We repair Generac, Kohler and Briggs & Stratton standby generators and their transfer switches, whoever installed them.
Often, yes. Batteries, chargers, sensors and many controller faults are routine repairs. If the engine or controller has a major failure on an older unit, we compare the repair cost with replacement and give you a straight answer.
Call (954) 636-4288 day or night. After a major storm, demand is high, so we tell you honestly when we can get to you. A maintenance visit before the season is the best way to avoid needing one.
It depends on what failed. A battery is a small repair. A controller or engine problem is a larger one. We diagnose first and give you the price before any repair work starts.
Scheduled maintenance, at least once a year, plus a check before hurricane season. See our generator maintenance service.
