Portable Generators and Changeovers in Florida Park
Yes, we repair generators in Florida Park, mostly portable petrol and diesel sets and canopied home standby sets, and we check the inlet or changeover each one plugs into. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns; the visit starts with a diagnosis, followed by a written quote you approve.
Florida Park is a residential suburb of freestanding family homes between Florida, Discovery and Constantia Kloof. Plenty of households here bought a portable petrol or diesel generator during load shedding and connect it to the house when the power goes, either through extension leads or through a manual changeover switch fitted to the distribution board.
How the set connects matters as much as how it runs. A properly installed changeover switch isolates the house from the grid, so your generator cannot feed power back into the street. A double-ended lead plugged into a wall socket does not, and it is dangerous for you and for the technicians working on the lines. On a Florida Park visit we repair and service the set, check the inlet and changeover it plugs into, and refer any house-side work to your electrician.

Florida Park Generator Faults We Fix
Portable sets in Florida Park usually fail after storage or from overloading when too much of the house is plugged in.
No power from the sockets
We check the set’s breaker, the AVR and the output wiring.
Set trips when the kettle goes on
A portable set has a limited rating. We measure your load and show you what it can safely run.
Low voltage under load
We meter the output with your appliances running and check the AVR.
Connecting a Portable Generator Safely
Never plug a generator into a wall socket with a double-ended lead. Use extension leads from the set to individual appliances, or have an electrician install a proper generator inlet and changeover switch that isolates the house from the grid. Run the set outdoors, away from doors and windows, because of carbon monoxide, and let it cool before refuelling. We check the set and the connection it uses on every Florida Park visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to plug my generator into a wall socket?
No. A double-ended lead can feed power back into the grid and can make exposed pins live. Use extension leads from the set, or have an electrician fit a proper inlet and changeover switch.
Do you repair portable generators in Florida Park?
Yes. We repair and service portable petrol and diesel sets, and home standby generators, throughout Florida Park.
Why does my portable generator trip when I switch on the kettle?
Kettles, heaters and geysers draw a lot of power. If the total load exceeds the set’s rating, its breaker trips. We measure your load and show you what the set can run.
Can you come out after hours?
Yes. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns.
