Understanding Your Generator Warranty

Common Generator Issues We Address
Generators, like any mechanical equipment, can experience issues over time. Our certified technicians commonly resolve problems such as tripped circuits, overheating, and battery failures. Tripped circuits are often caused by overloads or shorts, while low coolant levels may lead to overheating and possible engine damage. Loud noises might indicate mechanical wear or loose components, and improper installation can cause inefficient operation and safety concerns.
In addition to diagnosing the issue, we ensure repairs are completed with precision, using manufacturer-approved parts to restore full functionality.

Can I Perform Maintenance Myself, or Should I Schedule a Professional?
You can handle basic tasks like checking oil levels and visually inspecting for leaks.

Certified technicians can identify deeper issues before they become costly problems.
What Is a Load Bank Test, and Do I Need It?
A load bank test simulates full electrical demand on your generator. It helps verify whether your system can handle peak performance without failure. If your generator supports critical systems or has not been tested in the last 12 months, a load bank test is highly recommended.

Our standard maintenance plans offer convenience and protection. Each plan includes:
- Oil and filter changes

- System inspection and reporting
We also provide priority scheduling and annual reminders to help keep your system on track.

"I'm very pleased with the job Vance and his employees did with installing a backup generator. From providing a detailed estimate to setting the generator to final hookup and testing, Vance and his team were professional and reliable. I chose to go with Vance after researching 4 brands and 7 companies. His estimate was the most competitive and Generac offered the best warranty."

"Positive : Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
This was the fourth bid I had gotten for installing a whole house generator. The company came out to provide a quote very quickly, were extremely helpful in explaining all of my available options, and had a very competitive price. Furthermore, I felt very secure in their knowledge of what they were doing. Cannot list a single fault in the service I received."
