What we fix

## Generator and Transfer Switch Repair

Most generator problems come down to a handful of causes. We find the cause, tell you what it will take to fix, and give you a written price before any repair.

No start or won't run

Battery, fuel supply, starter, controller and sensor problems.

Fault codes and alarms

We read the controller's alarm history and find what triggered it.

Transfer switch problems

Generator runs but the house doesn't switch over, or it won't switch back to utility power.

Exercise and test issues

Units that skip their weekly exercise or shut down during a test.

Questions

## Generator Repair FAQ

Which generators do you repair?

Generac, Briggs & Stratton and Cummins home standby generators. Have another brand? Call and ask.

Is the repair covered by my generator warranty?

Manufacturer warranties usually cover parts only, and the manufacturer decides coverage. We'll help you file a claim for equipment we supplied.

My generator ran during the storm and now shows an alarm. What should I do?

Note the alarm on the controller, then call us. Many alarms point to the battery, oil level or a tripped breaker.

Do you do emergency generator calls?

We take emergency calls when someone is available. After-hours calls are billed at after-hours rates.

Can I prevent this from happening again?

Most no-start problems are caught on a regular maintenance visit. Our maintenance plans schedule that for you.

Prices on our website are general information, not an offer. See our [Terms of Service](https://jladrianelectric.com/terms-of-service-v7?hsLang=en) for warranty terms.
