Repairs that put a Gastonia unit back on duty
Every repair starts with a diagnosis, so you know what failed and why before a part is ordered. If the house has grown since the generator went in, with an addition or a bigger heat pump, the better step may be generator installation in Gastonia instead of another round of patching.
Ready when the lines drop
A tested battery, a working charger and a cleared fault mean the unit starts when the street goes dark, not only during its scheduled exercise run.
Clean handoff and handback
A repaired transfer switch moves the house over when Gastonia's own electric system or Duke Energy fails, then hands it back without tripping breakers.
Ready for ice season
Fixed before winter, the unit is ready for an ice storm like December 2002, when 643,000 Duke customers around Charlotte, Gastonia and Salisbury were without power.
Steady voltage for electronics
We check that the alternator holds its voltage and frequency with the house loaded, so the fridge, furnace board and computers in a Gastonia home run on clean power.
Generator breaker trips solved
When the breaker on the unit itself keeps tripping, we work out whether it is an overload, a failing breaker or a wiring fault before anything gets replaced.
The unit that came with the house
If your York-Chester or Catawba Hills house came with a generator already beside it, we pull the fault log from the controller and repair it, whatever the brand.
Gastonia's hometown shop for generator repair
A shop on E Franklin Blvd
A repair call here goes to a hometown company with its shop at 501 E Franklin Blvd, not to a regional dispatch line.
Two brands we know by heart
Generac and Kohler certification means the controllers and fault logs on those two brands are familiar ground, and other makes still get a full diagnosis.
Small faults found first
A no-start is often something small, like a dead battery, that looks like a failed engine, so the battery, charger, fuel and transfer switch are checked before anything is ordered.
NC and SC licensed electricians
When a generator fault turns out to live in the panel or the transfer switch, our licensed electricians (NC and SC license #34773) take it from there.
On call through the storm
Calls are answered 24/7, which counts most on the night a storm drops Gastonia's lines and the generator shows a red light instead of running. Financing is available for larger repairs.
Questions Gastonia owners ask about generator repair
Routine fixes usually do not. A new battery, charger, spark plugs or a sensor is ordinary service. When a repair means replacing the transfer switch or running new wiring, an electrical permit can come into play, and inside Gastonia city limits that permit and its inspection come from Gaston County Building and Development Services, which took over from the city on August 29, 2022. We handle the filing.
Often it is. Many failures come down to a battery, a charger, a sensor or the transfer switch, and those are ordinary repairs even on an older unit. We read the controller's fault log and test the engine before quoting. If a repair would outrun what the unit is worth, we say so before anything is ordered and put a replacement quote beside the repair quote.
On many standby units a yellow light is a warning or a maintenance reminder, and the unit can usually still run. A red light usually means an alarm that keeps it from starting until the cause is dealt with. Note the message on the display and call us, any hour. We trace what set off the alarm before the unit goes back into service.
