GENERATOR REPAIR & DIAGNOSTICS

A generator that fails to start or does not provide reliable backup power can leave your home or business vulnerable during an outage. Professional diagnostics can help identify electrical, control, connection, or system issues before they lead to extended downtime.

Brant Electric Limited provides generator repair and diagnostic services for residential and commercial backup power systems in Burlington and the surrounding area. Our experienced electricians can troubleshoot electrical connections, transfer switches, startup issues, and other generator-related problems to help restore safe and dependable operation.

Our process

HOW A GENERATOR REPAIR RUNS

GET THE HISTORY

What it’s doing, when it started, what the controller is showing. Fault codes and the exercise log usually tell us half the story before we’re on site.

DIAGNOSE ON SITE

We test rather than guess — battery and charging circuit, controller and fault history, transfer switch operation, fuel supply, and the electrical connections at both ends.

REPAIR OR QUOTE

Common faults we carry parts for and fix on the first visit. Where a part has to be ordered, you get the cost and the lead time before we go ahead.

TEST UNDER LOAD

A generator that starts isn’t a generator that works. We run it under load and simulate an outage so we know the transfer happens and the unit holds.

FAQ

Common Questions

My breaker keeps tripping. Can I just keep resetting it?

A breaker trips because something on that circuit is drawing more current than it should, or because there is a fault. Resetting it repeatedly does not address the cause and is not safe as a long-term habit — have the circuit looked at.

How long does troubleshooting take?

It depends entirely on the fault. Some are found in minutes; an intermittent problem that only appears in certain conditions takes longer. We will tell you what we are seeing as we go.

Is troubleshooting available outside business hours?

Yes. Our professional team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergencies.

Can you work on wiring installed by someone else?

Yes. A large share of our repair work involves correcting or completing wiring done previously by others.
