Yes, we repair generators in Little Falls, at freestanding homes, cluster developments and complexes. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns; every repair starts with a diagnosis on site and a written quote.
Little Falls is one of the younger suburbs on Roodepoort’s western side, with newer freestanding homes, cluster developments and complexes between Strubens Valley, Wilgeheuwel and Ruimsig. Many of its generators were installed in the last few years, often in a hurry during heavy load shedding.
A newer set can still fail, and the cause is often how it was set up rather than a worn part. When we are called to one we check that the battery charger is connected and working, that the automatic start responds to a mains failure, and that the weekly exercise run is set up so the set turns over regularly. Small set-up problems found now are cheaper than a failed start during an outage.
Breakdowns attended 24/7. We diagnose first, then quote the repair in writing.
