If your Generac standby generator will not start, shuts down, or runs without powering the home, describe the exact symptom when you request repair. Flow Tech Heating AC & Electric is an authorized Generac dealer and Generac service certified.
Professional Repair for Generac Standby Systems
Tell us your city, model, serial number, and any controller message or Mobile Link alert. Say whether you are currently without utility power. We can discuss appointment availability and the next step; parts availability and completion time depend on the diagnosis.
Signs Your Generator Needs Expert Attention
Report failed starts, repeated shutdowns, unusual noise, visible leaks, or a changed status indicator. A light color alone does not identify the cause. Keep a photo or written copy of the exact message so the technician can review it.
What do red and yellow lights mean?
Their meaning depends on the controller and model. A yellow indicator can identify a maintenance reminder or warning; red can indicate OFF status or an alarm. Some newer units also have blue indicators. Check the model-specific explanation and report the exact pattern rather than repeatedly clearing it.
Why does the engine run but the house stay dark?
Starting the engine and transferring power are separate parts of operation. The transfer equipment, generator output, and connected electrical system may need diagnosis. Leave cabinet covers closed and arrange professional inspection rather than reaching into energized equipment.
Is generator repair covered by warranty?
Coverage depends on the applicable written warranty and the diagnosed issue. Provide the serial number and maintenance records. Ask how a warranty determination will be handled before authorizing additional work.
Secure Your Home Backup Power
Use the repair request to describe what happened, not just “generator broken.” Flow Tech can discuss service in Eatonville and surrounding communities; confirm availability for your location. If backup power is unavailable, use your household’s outage plan rather than relying on an unconfirmed repair time.
