Every Generator Brand, Repaired and Serviced

Yes. We are an independent generator specialist: We Service & Repair All Generator Brands. Brand names on this site describe the equipment we work on and do not indicate any connection with the companies that make it.

Yes. Most sets are built from an engine, an alternator and a controller bought in from specialist makers, so an unfamiliar name on the canopy usually hides familiar parts. Send us photos of the plates and we can usually tell what the set is built from before we come out.

Yes. We Service & Repair All Generator Brands, including imported sets sold under a retailer’s name or with no name at all. Larger ones may have a Chinese-built engine, such as a Weichai or Yuchai, with a SmartGen controller; small portables usually have an air-cooled single-cylinder engine. Their alternators work on the same principles as any other. Where a plate is missing, we identify the engine from its layout, its markings and the part numbers on the fitted filters, and match replacement filters by size and thread.

Usually. We work from the engine and alternator data plates and serial numbers rather than the name on the canopy, because those identify the actual parts. Filters, belts and service items are widely available, with genuine or quality-equivalent options. Parts for older or less common engines can take longer, and where a part is no longer made we look at a compatible replacement, such as a current AVR or controller that suits the set. We give you the lead time when we quote.

Start with the set nameplate, engine plate, alternator plate and controller front described in the four steps above. If a plate is missing, painted over or faded, the engine maker’s name is often cast into the rocker cover or block, and photos of the whole engine from both sides, plus the part numbers on its oil and fuel filters, usually let us identify it. Only open the canopy with the set stopped, the engine cool and the controller set to stop or off.

The engine maker sets the interval, in running hours and by time, so it does vary between engines. How you use the set matters as much: a set that runs through several outages a day during load shedding reaches its hours interval long before one that only runs on test. See service intervals and oil care and generator servicing.

Often, yes. A sound engine and alternator frequently outlast the controller and canopy around them, and an obsolete control panel can usually be replaced with a current module. It stops making sense when the engine or alternator needs a major rebuild and parts are scarce. The repair or replace guide sets out how to weigh it up.
