Battery struggling with a medium starter
A click or a slow crank on a medium set usually means the battery has lost capacity. We test it under cranking load.

Residential and Medium Standby Sets in Bordeaux
Yes, we repair generators in Bordeaux, from house sets and medium standby units to the few light commercial sets near the Randburg business district, at the property. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns, and we diagnose before we quote in writing, so nothing is fitted on a guess.
Bordeaux is a compact residential suburb bordered by Blairgowrie and Ferndale, a few minutes from the Randburg business district. The machines here are house sets and medium standby units, plus a handful of light commercial sets, rather than workshop diesels that run a shift.
A starting fault in Bordeaux is usually a battery that can no longer turn a medium starter motor. Voltage faults show up only after the engine is running and the lights are still wrong. We keep those two jobs separate, so you are never sold a regulator for a battery fault.
Servicing pairs the oil and filters with a charger test, because a new battery fitted to a dead charger goes flat just as quickly as the old one.

Common Generator Faults in Bordeaux
Bordeaux faults start at the crank, then move to voltage once the engine is running.
Charger not keeping up
If the battery is flat after every outage, the charger is the next thing we test.
Dim lights with a steady engine
Voltage that sags while the engine sounds normal points to the AVR or the alternator.
Small business sets
A light commercial set is tested with its own load connected, not a house load.
Cranks but will not fire
Only once the engine turns do we move to fuel, filters and air in the lines.
Low frequency on bigger loads
If engine speed falls under the load, we check the governor and fuel delivery.
Light Commercial Sets in Bordeaux
Bordeaux’s handful of light commercial sets belong to small businesses a few minutes from the Randburg business district. They carry computers, lights and sometimes a fridge, and a voltage fault often appears only once that load connects. We repair them with the business load running, read any alarm on the panel first, and can book the visit before or after working hours.
Generator Not Starting in Bordeaux?
We prove the Bordeaux battery before touching the controller. If the engine cranks and will not fire, we move to fuel. Call or WhatsApp and tell us what you hear when you try to start it.
Bordeaux Voltage Faults
Wrong voltage with a steady engine is the AVR or alternator, not the fuel. No output at all sends us to a breaker, the excitation or the wiring.
Automatic Sets in Bordeaux
Where the set is automatic, a failed start signal is panel work and we test the changeover too. Manual medium sets go straight to the battery, fuel and output checks.
Servicing and maintenance: see the Randburg servicing page
Filter changes and charger tests on a schedule belong to planned servicing. For Bordeaux homes and medium sets, that work and maintenance plans are on the Randburg servicing and maintenance page.

Do you repair generators in Bordeaux?
Yes. We repair and service home, medium standby and light commercial sets on site in Bordeaux.
Do you check the battery when the generator will not start?
Yes. We load-test the battery and test the charger before anything else, because a weak battery is the usual Bordeaux no-start.
My Bordeaux generator runs but the lights are dim. What is wrong?
Usually the AVR, the alternator or too much load. We measure voltage and frequency on site to tell which.

Yes. We service and repair medium canopy sets in place, including automatic units with a changeover.
Do you cover Ferndale and Blairgowrie as well?
Yes. Both border Bordeaux and are part of our Randburg coverage.
