Repair
Use when the generator has a fault, will not start, shuts down, or is not supplying the house.
Repair guideFind generator repair near you
Looking for generator repair near you? Start with the right service network.
For home standby generators, brand training and warranty authorization can matter as much as distance. Use the official locator for your brand first, then compare availability, service scope and diagnostic cost before scheduling.
Fastest route
Use your generator brand to narrow the search first.
A general electrician or small-engine shop may be excellent at some generator work, but a standby system can involve the controller, automatic transfer switch, fuel system and manufacturer-specific diagnostics. If the unit is under warranty, start with the manufacturer's authorized-service network.
Emergency generator repair
Need urgent generator repair during an outage?
Treat the call as urgent when the standby generator has failed during an active outage, repeatedly shuts down, or runs without supplying the house. The useful first step is still the same: preserve the controller code, identify whether the engine cranks or runs, and contact a qualified service provider for the exact brand.
“Emergency” does not make unsafe DIY work appropriate. Do not bypass shutdown controls, open energized transfer equipment, or adjust gas-system components to get the unit running.
Official dealer & service locators
Go directly to the manufacturer network for your brand.
These are manufacturer-operated or manufacturer-published locator paths, not paid directory listings on this site. For Rehlko equipment, first separate a KOHLER-branded home standby generator from an industrial Rehlko Power Systems generator because the official service networks are different.

Before scheduling
Ask enough questions to avoid the wrong service call.
The cheapest dispatch fee is not useful if the company cannot service the controller, source the right parts or perform warranty work for your brand.
Do you service my exact generator brand and model family?
Are you authorized for warranty work on this brand if the unit may still be covered?
Can you diagnose the exact controller code or symptom I have?
Do you service both the generator and automatic transfer switch, or only the generator?
For natural-gas or propane issues, do you coordinate with a licensed fuel-gas professional when required?
What is the diagnostic/service-call charge, and what does it include?
If parts are needed, will you provide the part number and estimate before replacement?
Maintenance
Use when the generator is operating normally but is due for scheduled oil, filters, plugs, battery or inspection.
