Residential Electrical FAQs

Common questions from Triangle homeowners about residential electrical services. Don’t see yours? Call us directly — we’re happy to help.
How often does a standby generator need professional maintenance?
We recommend professional service every six months or after 100 hours of runtime. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive failures. We change the oil and replace filters. We test the battery and verify the transfer switch operates correctly. Annual load testing makes sure your unit produces full rated power when you need it most.
Dead batteries cause about 40% of failures. We also frequently repair faulty voltage regulators. Clogged fuel systems and worn starter motors are common problems. Control board failures happen on older units. Transfer switch contacts can pit over time. Our diagnostics identify the exact problem. We repair it right the first time without unnecessary parts replacement.
Simple repairs like battery replacement or sensor fixes take one to two hours. Control board replacements typically require three to four hours. Transfer switch repairs also take three to four hours. If we need to order parts, we provide a temporary repair when possible. This keeps you protected. Most repairs are completed the same day we diagnose the problem.
Your generator will be offline during active repair work. We schedule non-emergency repairs during clear weather when outages are unlikely. For emergency repairs during storm season, we work as quickly as possible. If your unit cannot be repaired immediately, we can sometimes provide a portable generator rental. This maintains power to critical circuits until repairs are complete.
We service all major residential brands including Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins, and Honeywell. Our technicians receive ongoing factory training. We maintain relationships with parts distributors. We keep common components in stock for faster repairs. Even if your generator is discontinued, we can usually source parts or engineer a solution to keep it running.

Transfer switch repairs range from $400 to $1,200 depending on the issue. We provide written estimates before starting work. Emergency after-hours service includes additional trip charges.
