Signs You Need to Fix or Replace Your Generator
Delayed Starts: Your generator, when turned on, should start up within a couple of seconds. If you are noticing delayed starts it could be due to low power flow, low oil levels, a broken part within the system, or the age of the generator. Call us immediately before the delay starts turning into the generator not working at all.
Fluid Leaks: Fluid leaks usually mean something inside your generator is broken. Although your generator will still run with a fluid leak, it will quickly damage the entire system. You can smell fluid leaks before you see them, as the smell is quite pungent. Call us at Built Electric immediately if you notice any fluid leaks.
Low Power: If your generator is producing inconsistent or low power, it could be a sign that your generator is nearing the end of its life span or needs a specific part to be fixed or replaced. You might notice this if your appliances flicker, repeatedly power down, or run slowly when the generator is on.
Age: Generators don’t age based on their calendar age but on how much they’re used. If you run your generator only once or twice a year, it could last up to 30 years. However, with frequent use, its lifespan will be significantly shorter. On average, a generator can last between 10,000 and 30,000 hours of operation, depending on maintenance and usage conditions.
Damaged Parts: If you notice any visible cracks or damage to the generator, call Built Electric to do maintenance on your generator before the damage gets worse.
Generator Troubleshooting & Inspections
Regular troubleshooting and inspections are key to keeping your generator running smoothly. Call the professionals in Built Electric to check the basics and address issues like spark plugs or battery problems. Unless you’re changing the oil or air filters as outlined in your user manual, it’s best not to attempt servicing your generator yourself. For safety and proper maintenance, always call a professional to inspect and service it.
Choosing a professional for generator installation is essential to ensure the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your system.

With our professionals on the job, you can trust that your generator will be installed correctly and safely, giving you reliable backup power when you need it most.
