How to Tell Your Backup Generator Needs Repairs

When your standby generator isn’t acting quite right, it’s more than just a nuisance—it’s a warning. A properly working electric generator should start up smoothly, run quietly, and keep your home’s lighting, sump pump, refrigerator, heating, and electronics powered during any outage. If something feels off, don’t wait for the next storm or emergency to find out you’ve lost your backup. Generator repair is much easier (and cheaper), and issues are caught early. Here are the key signs your home backup generator in Plymouth, MA, and the South Shore might need repairs:

  • Hard starts or failure to start: A weak battery, fuel issues, or engine trouble could be stopping your generator from powering up when needed.
  • Unusual noises: Grinding, sputtering, or rattling sounds during operation usually point to internal mechanical problems.
  • Strong fuel odors: The smell of gasoline, propane, or natural gas may signal a leak or a problem with the fuel delivery system.
  • Leaks or pooled fluids: Oil, fuel, or coolant leaks under or around the unit are red flags.
  • Warning lights or error codes: Modern standby generators often alert you when something’s wrong; don’t ignore them.
  • Transfer switch issues: If power doesn’t shift over automatically during an outage, your transfer switch may need service.
  • Frequent shutdowns: Overheating or engine trouble can cause your generator to shut off unexpectedly, often due to skipped maintenance.

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to call Beantown Home Services. We’ll diagnose the issue quickly and get your backup power running safely and reliably again so you’re never caught off guard.

Beantown changed out a 12 year old water heater for a new one from the same manufacturer. Their two technicians, Ryan and Jay were very professional, skilled, helpful and calm throughout the project. The original exhaust pipes could not be re-used as codes had changed and the two service technicians had to creatively solve this problem. The resolution involved drilling a hole through the concrete4 foundation and exhausting the carbon monoxide into our courtyard. The job certainly took longer than they first anticipated, however, nevertheless Ryan and Jay remained pleasant, professional and upbeat. The price quoted stayed as the final price and the until is working perfectly. Great job.

We had a small leak in a copper pipe in the basement. Sean was thorough in identifying several pinpoint leaks in that pipe and how much of it actually needed to be replaced to prevent a more serious leak in the future. He also identified a couple of material options for replacing the pipe, explains the pros and cons of each. He was very courteous and professional. Did a nice job and we are very happy with the result.

Matthew was polite and professional. He quickly diagnosed the heat pump issue, then took the time to explain it to me. A little refrigerant later and we had heat. Just in time for the coldest days of the last three winters.

Booking online was super easy. I really appreciate the updates by email and text message.
