Losing power in your home can cause a huge disruption to your lifestyle and put your comfort and security at risk. If you have a standby generator installed in your home, you won't feel the damaging effects of a power outage, especially when it hits for multiple days.

But a generator won't be able to provide you with the energy you need if it malfunctions or stops running. This is why Climatemakers of VA can work to make sure that your generator always remains serviced and in great condition.

Signs You Need Generator Repair

• A generator that has stopped producing energy might make a loud noise. This noise does not mean that the generator is functioning properly. A malfunctioning generator might not start under stress and can create recurring spikes. If the noise is coming from the generator when you flip the off-switch, then you should call the experts. If you notice a gradual increase in the loudness of your generator, your generator may need repairing as soon as possible.
• Another sign that you should call for generator repair is that your generator does not start. If you look in the owner's manual or do some research wherever you can on the internet, you will most likely know when exactly it should be replaced. Just because your generator is not producing electricity does not mean that it is dead; however, if you do notice a significant drop in its performance, then you should replace it. If you do not have the owner's manual or internet access, you can also call a professional service center to check for replacements for your generator.
• If your generator is not running at all, then you might have a bigger problem on your hands. For example, your fuel might be running low. If this is the case, you should add more fuel to the tank. On the other hand, if the generator refuses to start, then you should turn it off, unplug it, and call a professional service center to see what is wrong with your generator. The technicians will be able to address the issue properly, and they will be able to give you a more accurate answer about your generator's health.
• If your generator continues to have issues after you have replaced it, then you might have an electrical problem. For example, if your generator is running but it is not producing any energy, then you might have a bad power cord. To test this out, you can plug in another electrical device such as a television, or a computer, to see if the generator produces electricity. If the generator produces electricity when you plug in another device, then there might be a more serious electrical problem with the generator itself.
