Warning Signs Your Generator Needs Professional Attention

Even the most well-built generator systems require regular upkeep to remain dependable. Components wear down, fuel systems degrade, and electrical connections may weaken—leading to decreased performance or outright failure when you need backup power. Recognizing early warning signs can help prevent emergency breakdowns and costly repairs.

If you notice any of the following issues, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection:

• Trouble starting – Delayed or failed startups may point to battery problems, ignition issues, or internal faults that require prompt diagnosis.
• Unusual noises or leaks – Odd sounds, fuel odors, or visible fluid leaks often indicate mechanical damage, loose connections, or deteriorating components.
• Irregular power delivery – Fluctuating voltage, intermittent power, or partial system failures can compromise the safety and reliability of your electrical system.
• Outdated model or increased outages – Aging units or systems that frequently fail to engage during outages may no longer meet your property’s power demands efficiently or safely.

We take a proactive approach to generator service—identifying problems early and resolving them with precision. If your generator shows signs of wear, take action before the next outage. Contact us to schedule a thorough evaluation and restore your system’s performance with trusted, detail-focused care.

FAQs About Generators in Omaha

What is the difference between a portable generator and a standby generator? 

A portable generator is manually started and requires extension cords or a manual transfer switch. A standby generator is permanently installed, connects directly to your home’s gas line, and activates automatically within seconds of a power outage, providing seamless protection. 

How often should my backup generator be serviced? 

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year, or after any extended period of use (such as a multi-day outage). Regular service includes checking fuel lines, changing oil and filters, and testing the battery to ensure the unit is always ready.

Can a generator run on my existing natural gas line? 

Yes, most standby generators are designed to run on natural gas or propane. However, we must accurately assess your existing gas line's pressure and volume to ensure it can support the generator's high demand without affecting your furnace or water heater. 

How does a generator help prevent my basement from flooding? 

During a heavy storm, the power often goes out. If your sump pump doesn't have electricity, it cannot pump water out of your basement. A generator ensures your sump pump continues to operate, keeping your home dry even during the worst Omaha storms.
