Generator Repair in Cathedral City, CA

Generac, Kohler, and Cummins generators log fault codes when they detect problems — low oil pressure, high temperature, battery fault, overcrank, and more. We connect to your generator’s diagnostic port, read the fault history, identify the root cause, and repair the underlying issue.

Battery failure is the most common reason a generator won’t start. Batteries degrade faster in Cathedral City’s heat — the same heat that accelerates battery failure in cars also affects generator batteries. We test battery voltage and cold cranking amps, and replace batteries that won’t reliably start the engine.

The automatic transfer switch (ATS) disconnects your home from the SCE grid and connects it to generator power when an outage occurs. If your generator runs but your lights don’t come on, the ATS is the most likely culprit. We test ATS operation and repair or replace faulty contacts, relays, and control boards.

Generators require oil changes on a schedule — typically annually or every 100–200 runtime hours. Old oil accelerates engine wear and increases the risk of oil pressure faults. We perform oil changes with the correct grade and filter for your generator model.

Air-cooled generator carburetors can gum up if the unit sits unused for extended periods or runs on stale fuel. We clean carburetors, inspect fuel lines, test solenoid valves, and verify proper fuel delivery for both natural gas and propane units.

Like any engine, a standby generator benefits from periodic tune-ups. Worn spark plugs cause hard starting and rough running. A clogged air filter restricts airflow and causes the engine to run rich. We inspect and replace these wear items as part of our annual service.
