Automatic Home Generators in Kloofendal
Yes, we repair generators in Kloofendal, mainly the automatic standby sets at freestanding homes on the slopes around the nature reserve, storm damage included. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns; we test the damaged parts first and quote the repair in writing.
Kloofendal is a residential suburb on the slopes around the Kloofendal Nature Reserve, the ridge where some of the first payable gold on the Witwatersrand was found. Its neighbours are Constantia Kloof, Helderkruin and Strubens Valley, and most homes are freestanding with automatic standby sets.
Summer brings Highveld thunderstorms, and storms bring two problems at once: the power fails, and voltage spikes and nearby lightning can damage a generator’s controller, AVR or battery charger. After a storm, a set that should have started may sit silent with a blank screen, or start and then deliver unstable voltage. We test the controller, the AVR and the charger, check the surge protection, and repair what was damaged.

Kloofendal Generator Faults We Fix
In Kloofendal, many generator faults arrive with the summer storms.
Unstable voltage after a surge
We test the AVR and excitation and replace damaged parts.
Battery charger dead
A surge can kill the charger, so the battery runs down unnoticed. We test and replace it.
No power with the engine running
We test the AVR, breaker and alternator.
After a Highveld Thunderstorm
If your generator did not start during a storm outage, or started and then behaved strangely, note any message on the controller screen and send it to us with a photo. Do not open the control panel. We test the controller, AVR, charger and battery on site, repair what was damaged, and check that surge protection is fitted where it should be.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Kloofendal generator did not start during a storm. What happened?
A surge or nearby lightning can damage the controller, its supply or the battery charger, and the storm usually cuts the power at the same time. We test each part and repair what was damaged.
Can lightning damage a generator’s AVR?
Yes. Voltage spikes can damage the AVR, which leads to unstable or missing output. We test it and the excitation before replacing anything.
Does surge protection stop storm damage to my generator?
Not always, but it lowers the risk. Surge protection fitted in the right place limits the spikes that reach the controller and AVR, and after a storm we test both and check that the protection still works.
Can you come out during a storm outage at night?
Yes. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns.
