One system. Several places to look.
A backup system brings together the generator, controls, transfer equipment, electrical connections, and fuel supply. Troubleshooting begins with how the system behaves and which part needs attention.
Power-transfer concerns
Investigate why an installed system did not supply the expected circuits, with attention to the electrical and control arrangement.
Inconsistent operation
Discuss shutdowns, changing performance, and maintenance history. Some engine, fuel, or proprietary issues may need specialist support.
A clear way forward
The details that help us narrow it down.
What happened before, during, and after a problem is useful information. Share what you already know without opening equipment or trying to recreate a fault.
The equipment
Generator make, model, approximate age, fuel type, and available installation or service records.
The sequence
Whether the problem occurred during an outage, a routine exercise cycle, or normal standby operation.
The message
Any alert already visible on your normal display or app, including when it appeared and whether it has returned.

Do you repair every generator make and model?
Service capability depends on the equipment and fault. Share the make, model, and symptoms when booking. Proprietary controls, warranty work, or engine and fuel issues may require a manufacturer-authorized or specialist provider.
Why does my generator start but not power the house?
The cause could involve transfer equipment, controls, output, or the selected circuit arrangement. An on-site diagnosis is needed to distinguish these possibilities. Avoid repeated test attempts or changes to the transfer equipment.
Can a repair visit also cover maintenance?
Discuss both needs when you book. Troubleshooting and scheduled maintenance can involve different tasks, parts, and time. The proposed scope should make clear what the visit includes.
Should I repair or replace an older generator?
Consider the fault, overall condition, parts availability, repair scope, and whether the system still meets your backup needs. A diagnosis gives you useful information for comparing a repair with replacement.
