Transfer switch replacement or recalibration
Low Power Output

Tune-up parts usually on the truck
Generator Runs But Shows Error Codes
Likely cause: Sensor faults, coolant temperature, or oil pressure alerts
Diagnostic scan and targeted component replacement
Unusual Noise or Vibration

Should You Repair or Replace?
We give you an honest answer — not the one that generates more revenue for us. Here is how we think about the repair-or-replace decision.
Repair Makes Sense When...
- ✓The unit is under 10 years old
- ✓The fault is a component (battery, alternator, transfer switch)
- ✓Repair cost is less than 50% of replacement cost
- ✓The engine block and core components are in good condition
- ✓The unit is under manufacturer warranty
Replacement May Be Wiser When...
- ▲The unit is 15+ years old with major engine failure
- ▲Repair cost approaches or exceeds replacement cost
- ▲Extensive corrosion compromises structural integrity
- ▲Parts are no longer available or have long lead times
- ▲The unit has had repeated failures in the same component
Our technicians provide a written estimate for both repair and replacement before any work begins. You make the decision with full information — we never push you toward the higher-cost option.
Generator Repair — Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a generator emergency?
Our average response time for emergency generator calls during outages is 15 minutes. We prioritize medical patients who depend on powered equipment, followed by elderly customers during severe weather events. Call us at 816-461-9751 the moment you lose power — our team is ready.
What are the most common reasons a generator won't start?
The most common causes are a discharged or failed battery, low oil shutdown triggered by degraded oil, a clogged fuel system from stale gasoline, a tripped circuit breaker on the transfer switch, or a spark plug failure. Most of these issues stem from deferred maintenance. Our technicians carry the parts to resolve the majority of these faults in a single service visit.
Do you repair all generator brands?
Yes. Our technicians are factory-trained on Generac, Cummins, Briggs and Stratton, Champion, and DuroMax generators. All technicians are recertified annually for each brand, so you get manufacturer-level expertise regardless of which unit you own.
Should I repair or replace my generator?
The decision depends on the generator's age, the nature of the fault, and the cost of repair relative to replacement. If the unit is under 10 years old and the failure is a component issue — a battery, transfer switch, or alternator — repair almost always makes financial sense. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and a firm written quote before any work is authorized.
How much does generator repair cost?
Repair costs vary based on the fault, parts required, and labor time. Because we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all customers receive dealer cost pricing on parts — lower than commercial repair competitors. We provide a detailed written estimate before starting any repair so there are no surprises on your invoice.
What is covered under my generator warranty?
Most manufacturers offer 5 to 10 year warranties depending on the brand and model. We handle all warranty claim paperwork on your behalf — you never have to deal with the manufacturer directly. If your unit qualifies for a warranty repair, we file the claim, coordinate the parts, and complete the work at no additional cost to you beyond what the warranty covers.
