Richard Walton's Rating
Richard and Austin came to do a plumbing repair. They were SUPER professional and extremely courteous. I am a repeat customer, and I don’t have to guess who I am going to call. I request Richard McDonald every time. He knows my house, and its quirky way it has. Thank you for another great job! Richard Walton
Josh Cooley's Rating
My experiences with Guin have been excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are problem solvers and seem happy to help, whereas some other companies I have dealt with (Roto-rooter in particular) have salivated at every opportunity to rake me over the coals and charge often double what things should cost. Highly recommended. Josh Cooley
Joan B.'s Rating
This company examined my A/C system for any issues. They were honest and professional. They didn’t use any high tech selling methods. They did exactly what initially was told to me. I decided to let Guin manage my system for future maintenance. I felt like this company cares about customers and that choosing them was a very good choice among several other companies. The technicians were super nice and explained any concerns that I had. Joan B.

Generator Repair Services FAQs

How Do I Know If My Generator Needs Repair?

If your generator shows any of the following signs, it may be time for a repair.

  • Failing to start: This is the most obvious indicator. If your generator consistently struggles to turn over, there could be an issue with the battery, starter, or other critical components.
  • Unusual noises or vibrations: Generators shouldn't sound like they're about to take flight! Excess noise or vibration could signal internal problems like loose parts or engine wear.
  • Power fluctuations: Unstable voltage output can damage your appliances and electronics.
  • Reduced power output: If your generator can't handle the electrical load it used to, it's not functioning at full capacity and needs attention.
  • Frequent oil leaks or overheating: These issues point to potential mechanical problems that, if left unchecked, can lead to a complete breakdown.

Need generator breakdown assistance? Contact Guin Service today! Our generator diagnostics team will pinpoint and address the problem quickly, repairing your generator and restoring backup power to your home.

What Is the Typical Lifespan of a Generator, and When Should I Consider Repairs?

With proper care, a generator can last for 10 to 15 years. We recommend considering repairs if your generator starts making unusual noises, has difficulty starting, or shows a reduced power output. While these could just be signs of minor issues, it's important not to delay repairs to prevent further damage to your generator.

Can I Repair My Generator Myself, or Should I Hire a Professional Service?

Some homeowners may feel comfortable tackling basic generator maintenance tasks; however, we generally recommend leaving repairs to a qualified professional at Guin Service. Modern generators involve complex electrical components, and improper repairs can worsen existing problems or even harm you. Our technicians are factory-trained to tackle residential generator repairs of all kinds.

How Often Should I Schedule Generator Maintenance Services?

A preventative maintenance schedule will vary depending on your specific generator model and how often you use it. However, at least once a year is the general recommendation to ensure your generator is operating at peak performance. Our maintenance tasks usually include oil changes, filter replacements, and a thorough inspection. Contact us today and ask us about our Guin Guard Maintenance Plan to learn more.
