What Are the Most Common Causes of Generator Problems?
Generator problems often stem from neglect or improper care, with lack of maintenance being a primary cause. Failing to change the oil regularly, for example, can lead to engine damage, potentially resulting in a complete generator breakdown when you’re counting on its power.
Here are some common issues and their causes:
- Failure to start: This can be caused by a dead battery, low fuel levels, or old fuel that has degraded over time.
- Low power output: This is often caused by a dirty or clogged air filter, fuel issues, or faulty components like the voltage regulator.
- Frequent shutdowns: This can happen due to fuel contamination, an overloaded generator, or malfunctioning sensors.
- Excessive noise or vibration: Worn-out bearings, loose components, or mechanical damage can lead to unusual noise and excessive vibration during operation.

What Do You Look for When You Inspect Different Generator Components?
When we inspect your generator’s components, we look at everything required for optimal performance. For instance, we carefully examine the alternator brushes for wear and proper contact, as these components are essential for converting mechanical energy into electrical power.
We also assess your engine's fuel system, checking fuel filters for clogs or contamination, as clean fuel is essential for efficient combustion and preventing engine damage. We also examine the governor, which controls the engine's speed and power output, ensuring it responds correctly to load changes.
What Generator Repairs Are the Most Urgent?
Some generator issues demand immediate attention to prevent further damage and ensure your backup power system remains operational. Ignoring these problems can lead to complete system failure, costly repairs, or even safety hazards.
Here are some generator repairs that we consider urgent:
- Fuel leaks: Pose fire hazards and can damage the engine
- Overheating: Can cause severe engine damage and system shutdown
- Electrical faults: Risk of fire, equipment damage, and power failure
- Battery failure: Prevents your generator from starting during outages
- Oil pressure problems: Can lead to catastrophic engine failure
