Generator Services Across the West Rand

We repair diesel, petrol and gas generators across the West Rand, in Krugersdorp, Randfontein, Westonaria and Muldersdrift, at any hour. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns; the fault is diagnosed at the set and you approve a written quote before work starts. ProService Generator Repairs has been in business since 2000. Book by phone or WhatsApp on 082 057 4605.

The West Rand covers very different properties. Roodepoort, on its eastern edge, is part of our Johannesburg coverage and has its own page. Krugersdorp and Randfontein combine residential suburbs with industrial areas such as Chamdor, and the older mining towns have workshops and plant that run long hours. Around Muldersdrift, Tarlton and Magaliesburg, many properties are smallholdings and farms where the generator also drives a borehole pump, so we check that the set can handle the pump’s starting load.

Electricity supply varies by area. Much of Roodepoort is supplied by City Power, Krugersdorp falls under Mogale City, Randfontein and Westonaria fall under Rand West City, and Eskom supplies some properties directly. Outages therefore arrive at different times across the region, which is why a repair visit ends with the automatic start tested rather than waiting for the next outage to prove it.

West Rand Generator Faults We Fix

On the West Rand we see three patterns: suburban home sets that fail after standing, workshop sets that struggle under load, and plot sets that cannot start a borehole pump cleanly.

Generator Won't Start

We test the battery and starter first, then fuel delivery, filters, shutdown alarms and the controller.

Low Frequency

Frequency follows engine speed, so we check the governor, fuel delivery and the load.

Fuel-System Faults

Blocked filters, contaminated diesel, air, injectors, the lift pump or the fuel pump can stop delivery. We find the restriction first.

Control Panel and ATS Faults

We read controller alarms and test the ATS when a set will not start on auto or will not take the load.

Overheating

We check coolant, the radiator, hoses, the fan belt and airflow, and the load at shutdown.

Generators on West Rand Smallholdings

Around Muldersdrift, Tarlton, Magaliesburg and the plots near Randfontein, the generator often runs a borehole pump, gate motors and electric fencing as well as the house. A pump draws far more current while it starts than while it runs, so a set that idles happily may stall or drop its voltage the moment the pump kicks in. We measure that moment, check the set’s rating against your loads and tell you plainly whether a repair or a bigger set is the answer.

Generator Not Starting on the West Rand?

Tell us whether the set clicks, cranks without firing or stays silent. A click points to the battery or starter, a crank without firing points to fuel, and a silent automatic set points to the controller. We test the likely cause first and quote before we change parts. Call or WhatsApp 082 057 4605.

Workshop and Industrial Diesels

Workshops and plant in Chamdor, Randfontein and the mining towns run diesels for long hours. We repair fuel delivery and cooling faults under load, and run a load bank test when you need proof the set can carry the site. Planned servicing for these sets is on the West Rand servicing and maintenance page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which West Rand areas do you cover?

We cover Krugersdorp, Randfontein and Westonaria, plus Muldersdrift, Magaliesburg and the smallholdings in between. Roodepoort, next door, is part of our Johannesburg coverage and has its own page.

Can my generator run a borehole pump on a West Rand smallholding?

Often yes, if the set is large enough for the pump’s starting current, which is much higher than its running current. We check the set’s rating against the pump and the rest of the load, and test it running before you rely on it.

Who supplies electricity on the West Rand?

It varies by area. Much of Roodepoort is supplied by City Power, Krugersdorp by Mogale City, and Randfontein and Westonaria by Rand West City, while Eskom supplies some properties directly. Either way, your generator needs an automatic start that has been tested.

Do you repair generators at workshops in Krugersdorp and Randfontein?

Yes. We repair commercial and industrial diesels on site, including fuel, cooling and controller faults, and we run load bank tests when needed.

Can you come out at night or over a weekend on the West Rand?

Yes. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns, including public holidays.

What does a West Rand callout cost?

The callout is R400 – R700 in business hours and R700 – R1,400 after hours. The callout fee is only payable if you do not accept the quotation. If you accept the quotation, the callout fee is waived. The written quote is free, and the diagnosis is included when you go ahead with the repair.

Do you repair petrol generators too?

Yes. Many West Rand homes and plots keep a petrol set for short outages, and we repair their starting, fuel and output faults. Always run a portable set outdoors, because of carbon monoxide. Routine servicing is on the West Rand servicing and maintenance page.
