Who needs it
Routine servicing in Laudium and Erasmia
Two kinds of generator need servicing here, for opposite reasons. Sets at shops, business strips and small workshops carry fridges, tills and motors through every outage, so their hour meters climb and oil, filters and coolant wear out on duty. Sets at mosques, churches, schools and many homes do the reverse: they stand for days or weeks, then must start at once.
A standing set ages without running: its battery self-discharges, condensation gathers in the tank, hoses harden and an unused changeover can stick. A service on a quiet day readies it for the outage that lands on a prayer time or a busy Saturday.
Servicing
What a generator service in Laudium and Erasmia includes
In Laudium and Erasmia the checklist below leans on what standing does to a set: battery and charger, water in the tank, stale petrol in portables. On shop and workshop sets that run every slot, oil, filters and the airflow around the canopy get the closest look.
- 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.

Prevention
Faults a Laudium or Erasmia service finds first
Most breakdowns here would have shown at a service. A battery holding half its charge shows on a load tester, not on the morning of a school outage; stale petrol drained from a portable never gums its carburettor; a shop set’s clogged air filter is replaced before the engine smokes and loses power.
Where a set has already stopped, the Laudium and Erasmia generator repairs page sets out the faults we meet most here and what to tell us when you call. We also service generators in Centurion, Atteridgeville and Hermanstad and Danville, and across the Centurion hub.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Our mosque’s generator hardly runs. How often should it be serviced?
At least once a year, and sooner if the hour meter reaches the manual’s interval. A set that stands still loses battery charge, collects condensation in its tank and can stick its changeover; a service catches all three.
Can you service the generator without disturbing prayers or a church service?
Yes. Tell us the building’s times and we book the visit between them; we work 24/7. Most of the work is done with the set isolated, and only the load test moves the building onto it.
Our shop’s set runs through every load-shedding slot. When is it due?
Read the hour meter, not the calendar. A shop set running two or three slots a day collects hours quickly, so check the meter weekly in heavy load shedding and book as it nears the manual’s interval.
Do you service petrol portables at homes in Erasmia and Claudius?
Yes: fresh oil and a new spark plug, the air filter cleaned, old petrol drained, the carburettor cleaned and a run under load. Between outages, store it with fresh fuel or an empty carburettor, and always run it outdoors.
