We repair petrol and diesel generators in Hartbeespoort and the estates around the dam, day or night. We are open 24/7; when you call, we confirm the time for your address, and the technician diagnoses the fault on site and quotes in writing before any work. ProService Generator Repairs has been in business since 2000.
Hartbeespoort sits in the Madibeng area of North West, west of Pretoria and across the provincial border from Gauteng. We travel out to the dam regularly, covering the town itself, Schoemansville on the northern shore, Melodie, Ifafi and Meerhof, and the lifestyle estates in between, reached along the R511, R512 and N4.
Homes around the dam range from permanent family houses and secure estates to weekend and holiday homes that stand empty for weeks at a time. A typical generator is a residential standby diesel in the yard or a smaller petrol set kept for the house, while guesthouses, restaurants and shops near the dam wall run commercial sets that have to cope with busy weekends.
Because so many of these generators wait between uses, the battery and the fuel fail first. A set that clicks, a petrol generator that will not start, and a diesel with old fuel in the tank are different jobs. Voltage that is too low to run appliances is an electrical fault, and we test it separately from a no-start.
Planned servicing, which finds a flat battery or a loaded filter before a long weekend does, is booked through our generator servicing page; for weekend homes it can be done while you are away if someone can give us access.

Hartbeespoort calls lean towards sets at houses, estates and weekend homes that sit for weeks and then fail on the day they are needed.
We identify whether the battery, starter or fuel is at fault before recommending parts.
We test a battery that cannot crank, and the charger or circuit that should have kept it charged.
Stale petrol, water in diesel and blocked filters stop engines that are otherwise sound.
When appliances will not run while the engine does, we test the AVR, windings or breakers, depending on the set.
Frequency follows engine speed. If it falls under the house load, we check fuel delivery and the governor.
A loaded filter on a standby diesel is usually a service item. We test for a deeper fuel-pump fault if it persists.
Oil and filters left through a quiet spell cause hard starting at the next outage.
When the engine runs in the yard and the house stays dark, we check the breaker, wiring and changeover.
A Hartbeespoort no-start is often a battery that went flat while the set stood, or fuel that has aged in the tank. A click is electrical, while an engine that turns and will not fire points to fuel, a filter or a shutdown. A petrol set that will not start gets checked for stale fuel and the starting circuit.
We separate those causes on the visit. We fit a new battery when the test shows it cannot crank, and we check the charger so the replacement stays charged.
Estate and house loads such as pool pumps, geysers and boat-lift motors can drag a small standby set down. Voltage that sags while the engine note stays steady points to the AVR, the alternator or a breaker, and frequency that falls at the same time means the engine is slowing under load.
We measure both at the generator. The reading tells us whether the fault is electrical or whether the set is being asked to carry more than it can.
We repair diesel sets in Schoemansville, Melodie, Ifafi and Meerhof for fuel, starting and output faults, and check the lift pump and injectors only when fuel is not arriving after the filters are clear.
We repair petrol generators too, for starting and fuel faults. Tell us which fuel you have when you book so we arrive with the right parts.
Hartbeespoort generators are mostly residential standby diesels and petrol sets at homes, estates and weekend houses, plus commercial sets at guesthouses, restaurants and shops near the dam.
