Who needs it
Routine servicing in Annlin and Wonderboom
Households: Residential generator services
Annlin, Wolmer and Pretoria North sets that run only in outages, so batteries, hoses and fuel age faster than the meter moves.
Complex trustees: Generator maintenance
One shared set for the gate and common lights in Magalieskruin or Dorandia; when it fails, every unit notices.
Smallholders at Bon Accord: Diesel generators
Borehole sets that run most days, collecting hours like a prime-power set and fed from stored diesel.
Aviation businesses and workshops: Commercial generator services
Hangar and workshop sets near Wonderboom Airport that must start the moment the mains drops.
Onderstepoort facilities: Load bank testing
Critical standby for veterinary and research buildings, where a missed start means warm fridges and lost work.
Servicing
What a generator service in Annlin and Wonderboom includes
North of the ridge a service happens beside a borehole as often as on a garden slab. Holding sets get extra time on air filters, water separators and stored fuel; other visits are booked with whoever controls the gate.
- Engine oil and filter, with the fuel, air and water-separator filters
- Coolant level and condition, radiator, hoses and belts
- Starting battery load-tested, charger output and terminals checked
- Fuel system checked for leaks, water and contamination, tank to injectors
- Alternator, AVR, output connections and earthing checked
- Controller settings, alarms and hour meter recorded
- Test run under load: voltage, frequency and temperatures
- Changeover (ATS) operation confirmed where fitted
You get a written record of what was done and found. The full list is in our service checklist; generator servicing explains the work and a maintenance plan keeps it on schedule.

The service intervals guide shows how to read the hour meter; diesel fuel contamination covers drums and tanks.
Plans
Maintenance plans for Annlin and Wonderboom
Home plans: Generator servicing
A yearly service, a mid-year battery and changeover check, and the household portable on the same visit.
Complex plans: Generator maintenance
One schedule and one quotation to the trustees, with a visit history that passes to the next committee.
Holding and borehole plans: Fuel system repairs
Visits by the hour meter, the pump run on the set at each one, and stored diesel checked for water.
Critical-standby plans: Load bank testing
For the airport, workshops and Onderstepoort labs: monthly test runs, charger checks and a run under real load.
Prevention
What a Wonderboom service catches before the outage does
Most breakdowns north of the ridge left a sign a service would have read. Water from a Bon Accord drum shows in the separator bowl before it reaches the injection pump; a charger running high is caught before it boils a complex battery; a weeping hangar-set hose is changed before the radiator empties.
If a set has already failed, the Annlin and Wonderboom generator repairs page lists the faults we meet most. We also service generators in Montana and Sinoville, Akasia and Pretoria Moot, across the Pretoria North sub-region and the Pretoria hub.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Our Bon Accord borehole set runs a few hours every day. How often does it need a service?
By its hour meter, not the calendar. A few hours a day reaches the manual’s interval within months, so a holding plan books visits by hours and checks the stored diesel each time.
We bought an Annlin house with a generator and no service history. Where do we start?
With a full service and a load test. We record the hour meter, battery age, fuel condition and changeover state, then set a schedule from that baseline.
Can a research facility at Onderstepoort be serviced without warming the fridges?
Yes. Most of the service is done with the mains on; only the transfer test moves the load, and we time it with your staff, 24/7. The set goes back to automatic before we leave.
Can one plan cover the shared generator at our Magalieskruin complex?
Yes. The trustees get one schedule, one quotation and a written record of every visit, gate and intercom transfer test included, so the history survives a new committee.
Do you service generators at hangars around Wonderboom Airport?
Yes. Tell us who controls access and the hangar’s working hours, and we book the service and test run around them.
