Generator FAQs

Most manufacturers recommend annual service — including an oil change, filter replacement, spark plug inspection, battery test, and full system check. In Florida, where generators run harder during storm season, some high-usage units benefit from service every 6 months.

We currently service Generac and Champion portable generators. Our primary specialization is residential and commercial standby and emergency generator systems.

Remote monitoring is available through eligible PowerCare™ service plans. We do not offer monitoring as a standalone subscription. Options are available for customers with compatible equipment already installed and for plans that include leased monitoring equipment.

We serve Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee, and northern Palm Beach counties. Our primary service areas include Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Sebastian, Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, and surrounding communities.

A PowerCare™ service plan combines scheduled professional generator maintenance with membership benefits such as priority scheduling and discounts on eligible repairs. Certain plans also include remote monitoring. Available options depend on the generator’s size, type, and monitoring compatibility.

A generator may start and shut down because of a fault code, low oil pressure, a fuel-supply problem, an engine-speed issue, a failed sensor, or a cooling-system problem on a liquid-cooled unit. Record the displayed fault code before clearing it and contact us for proper diagnosis.

Common causes include a weak or failed battery, battery-charger problems, insufficient fuel supply or pressure, a starter problem, a failed sensor, or a controller fault lockout. Record any displayed fault code and call us for diagnosis instead of repeatedly attempting to restart the generator.

We service and repair all major brands of residential and commercial standby and emergency generators, including Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins/Onan, CAT, MTU, Honeywell, and Guardian. Portable-generator service is currently limited to Generac and Champion models.
