Warning Signs
Signs Your Generator Needs Immediate Repair
These symptoms indicate your generator needs professional diagnosis and repair before the next outage.
The engine doesn’t turn over or responds with clicking sounds. This signals a dead battery (most common), loose battery connections, failed starter motor, or faulty ignition switch. The battery often fails from disuse; a simple recharge or replacement gets the generator running again.
The starter motor runs but the engine doesn’t fire up. This indicates no fuel reaching the spark plugs, bad spark plugs, air intake obstruction, or ignition system failure. Clogged fuel filters are common if the generator sat unused during storage.
The engine is running but electrical power isn’t reaching your home — lights don’t come on, outlets show no voltage. This signals a transfer switch failure, loose electrical connections, tripped breaker, or failed alternator.
The generator is running but your home’s power hasn’t switched from utility to generator. Causes: dead battery (switch won’t activate), corroded transfer switch contacts, loose electrical connections, or failed control circuitry.
Engine starts and runs briefly then stops. This signals oil pressure shutoff (low oil is the most common cause), overheating (clogged air filter, fan failure), fuel starvation (clogged fuel filter), or engine protection kicking in.
A loud knock, grinding, or squealing from the engine means internal wear, loose components, or failing bearings. These sounds warrant immediate shutdown to prevent catastrophic failure. A bearing-knocked engine or seized alternator requires replacement.

Answering Your Questions
FAQs About Generator Repair
Dead battery is the most common cause. We test battery voltage and replace if necessary. Other causes: fuel shutoff valve closed, clogged fuel filter, bad spark plugs, loose connections, or corroded battery terminals. We diagnose which during a service call and fix it.
If your generator is running (you can hear it) but your home’s power hasn’t switched from utility to generator, the transfer switch isn’t engaging. We test the switch to determine if it’s a stuck mechanical relay, corroded contacts, or failed control circuit.
Repair costs depend on what failed. Simple fixes like battery replacement or spark plug cleaning are inexpensive. Fuel system or electrical repairs cost more. Transfer switch replacement is among the most expensive repairs. We provide a detailed quote after diagnosis.
Repair makes sense if your generator is under 15 years old and the repair is straightforward and affordable. If it’s 18+ years old, the repair is expensive, or it’s had multiple issues, replacement often provides better long-term value. We discuss the economics during diagnosis.
Simple repairs (battery, spark plugs, oil) take under an hour. Moderate repairs (fuel system cleaning, transfer switch, electrical) take 2–4 hours. Complex repairs requiring part replacement might require a second appointment if parts need ordering. We give honest timelines after diagnosis.
No. Leaks are fire hazards and environmental hazards. We’ll locate the leak source and repair or replace the failed component. Small leaks can be sealed; major leaks require tank or gasket replacement.
Common causes: low oil level (oil pressure shutoff), overheating (clogged air filter), fuel starvation (clogged fuel filter), or engine protection kicking in from excessive load. Check oil level first — adding oil often fixes this immediately. If it’s not oil, we’ll diagnose the cause.
If your generator is 20+ years old and multiple components are failing, replacement is often more economical than repeated repairs. New generators are more efficient, reliable, and have better warranty coverage. We’ll quote replacement options if repair doesn’t make sense.
Most generator warranties cover manufacturer defects for 5–10 years (depending on the manufacturer and model). Hobbs guarantees our installation labor for 2 years. If we installed your generator and there’s a problem with our work, we cover it. If you bought elsewhere, warranty depends on the manufacturer and how old the unit is.
Annual or bi-annual maintenance is the best prevention. We perform oil changes, fuel system inspection, battery testing, transfer switch verification, and load testing. Regular exercise (running the generator monthly under some load) keeps it ready. Join our maintenance plan to ensure consistent care.
