Frequently Asked Questions (Generators Sandton)
Do you service generators on-site in Sandton?
Yes, for all large standby diesel generators and heavy units wired into the DB board, our mobile technicians come directly to your premises. For small portable petrol units, we can repair them on-site or take them to our workshop if a major engine rebuild is required.
Why is my generator running but not producing electricity?
This is commonly caused by a blown AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator), demagnetized rotor, or worn carbon brushes. It often happens when the generator is overloaded or if it is shut down while appliances are still drawing power.
Can you fix a generator that has been sitting with old fuel?
Yes. Petrol degrades after about 3-4 months, turning into a sticky varnish that clogs the carburetor jets. We remove the tank, flush the stale fuel, ultrasonic-clean the carburetor, and install fresh spark plugs.
