A maintenance visit
What happens on a maintenance visit?
We start by reading the controller for stored alarms and the running hours. Then we check the battery and charger, the fuel level and condition, the coolant and hoses, the belts, the oil level and any leaks. We start the set, watch it come up to speed, and check the output voltage and frequency.
When a service is due, we change the oil and filters on the same visit. A typical visit costs R900 to R1,800, depending on the size of the generator and the parts it needs. If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a written quote before any repair.
Regular visits suit standby sets that sit for weeks between outages, because batteries go flat, diesel ages and alarms go unread while a set waits. If you want the visits booked for you, ask about a maintenance contract: we assess the generator and quote a written agreement built around it, which either side can cancel with 30 days’ notice. Plan clients are scheduled ahead of new callouts.
What we check
Preventative generator maintenance checks
We adjust the list to your set, how often it runs and what the last visit found.
Battery and charger
We test the battery under load and check that the charger is holding it up. A flat battery is the usual reason a quiet set only clicks.
Fuel condition
We check the fuel level, drain water from the separator and look for dirty or aged diesel before it blocks a filter.
Cooling system
Coolant level, hoses, clamps, belts and the radiator fins, checked with the engine cool.
Controller and ATS
We read alarms, confirm the controller is in auto, and test that the set starts and takes the load when the mains drops.
Output check
We measure voltage and frequency on the test run, so a start is backed by usable power.
Load testing when needed
When you need proof the set can carry its full rating, we book a load bank test, typically R2,800 to R5,500.

Common Questions
Questions about generator maintenance near you
What does a generator maintenance visit cost?
A typical visit costs R900 to R1,800, depending on the generator size and the parts it needs. Any repair we find is quoted in writing before we do it.
What is the difference between servicing and maintenance?
Servicing is one visit to change the oil and filters and check the set. Maintenance is the schedule around it: regular checks, start tests and early repairs that keep a standby generator ready.
Do you maintain generators that hardly run?
Yes, and they need it most. A set that sits between outages still loses battery charge, and its diesel ages. We check those on the calendar, not only on running hours.
Can I get a maintenance contract?
Yes. Contracts and SLAs are customised: we assess the generator, its condition, capacity and usage, and your requirements, then quote in writing. There are no fixed packages or prices. Either side can cancel with 30 days’ notice, contract clients are scheduled ahead of new callouts, and preferred labour rates may apply.
How do I book maintenance in my area?
Call or WhatsApp 082 057 4605 with your suburb, the make and fuel, and when the set was last serviced. We agree dates that suit you.
Is load testing part of every visit?
No. We check the output on every test run. When you need proof the set can carry its full load, we book a load bank test, typically R2,800 to R5,500.
What if the generator breaks down between visits?
Call us at any hour. We are open 24/7, and for a breakdown we arrive within 1 hour.
Which areas do you cover?
Johannesburg, Pretoria, the East Rand (Ekurhuleni), the West Rand, Sandton, Centurion, Midrand, Randburg and Roodepoort, plus surrounding Gauteng areas.
