WE FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT KILL YOUR POWER

Generators are often ignored until an emergency happens, which leads to common mechanical issues. Here is what we see most often in the shop:

WON’T START

The number one culprit is old gas. It turns into varnish and clogs the carburetor, making ignition impossible just when you need it most. We clean the entire fuel system and install fresh plugs so it fires up easily on the first pull. You shouldn’t have to fight your equipment in the dark during a power outage; we make sure it’s ready to go the moment the lights flicker.

ENGINE SURGING

If your generator sounds like it is revving up and down, it isn’t getting steady fuel or air. We smooth it out so it provides consistent power without dangerous voltage spikes. A surging engine can actually damage sensitive electronics like your refrigerator or computer, so we adjust the governor and linkage to ensure a steady, safe electrical flow.

NO ELECTRICITY

The engine runs, but plugging in a light does nothing? We troubleshoot the electrical output to make sure it can actually power your fridge and lights. This issue is often caused by a failed voltage regulator, worn brushes, or a tripped internal breaker that needs resetting. We load-test the machine to verify it can handle the wattage you need to keep your home running.

TRUSTED LOCAL SERVICE For Your Generator

SERVING RICHFIELD & BEYOND

When the power grid fails, your generator is the only thing standing between your home and the dark. However, sitting idle in the garage for months is actually harder on an engine than daily use. Old fuel turns to varnish, seals dry out, and batteries lose their charge silently while in storage. We specialize in reversing this neglect. We go through your machine system-by-system, cleaning the fuel pathways and testing the electrical output to ensure that when you pull that cord, the lights actually come on.

We understand that a generator isn’t just a convenience; for many in Stanly and Rowan counties, it is a necessity for running well pumps, keeping freezers frozen, and powering medical devices. That is why we don’t cut corners. We load-test every generator we repair to simulate real-world usage, ensuring the engine won’t bog down or stall when your refrigerator kicks on. From small inverter units to heavy-duty construction generators, we provide the mechanical expertise to keep your power flowing.

Don’t wait until the storm is overhead to find out your equipment won’t start; let us make sure you are ready today.

Whether you drop it off at our Richfield shop or schedule a mobile diagnostic for a unit that is too heavy to move, we make the process smooth, transparent, and stress-free. We handle the logistics so you can focus on being prepared for the next power outage.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we get about generator repair from our neighbors.

Why won’t my generator start?

90% of the time, it is old gas. If you left gas in it from the last storm, it has likely clogged the carburetor. We can clean it out and get it running like new.

How often should I start my generator?

We recommend starting it once a month and letting it run for about 15 minutes. This keeps the oil moving and burns off moisture.

Do you work on large standby generators?

We focus primarily on portable generators that can be brought to the shop

Is it worth fixing a cheap generator?

It depends on the problem. Often, a simple carb clean is much cheaper than buying a new unit. We will give you an honest assessment so you don’t waste money.

How long does a repair take?

We aim for a fast turnaround, usually within a week, provided we don’t have to wait on special parts. We know you need your backup power ready to go.
