WARNING SIGNS

How Do I Know If My Home Generator Requires Professional Repair From Hero Home Services?

Home generators can be a great resource and source of comfort, keeping your family safe and the power running during outages. Unfortunately, many Minneapolis, MN homeowners don’t become aware that their home generator is broken until they need it. To avoid that, here are a few warning signs that your home generator is in need of repair:

The generator struggles to start

If your home generator struggles to start or won’t start at all, your generator likely is in need of professional maintenance or repair from Hero Home Services. In this case, there are many things that could be giving your Minneapolis, MN home generator issues starting. Those issues could include broken components, normal wear and tear, etc.. If your home generator is struggling to start, contact Hero Home Services to have a professional repair it quickly!

Your home generator is leaking

Your home generator stores many fluids in order to operate at maximum capacity. As such, tanks or lines within a home generator can leak fluids such as coolant, fuel, and oil. If you notice a leak coming from your unit, its functionality is likely to quickly deteriorate and you should have an expert conduct a repair as soon as possible.

Diagnostic light is yellow or red

Many home generator units contain a system that will run a diagnostic of the unit, either manually triggered or automatically triggered. If your home generator has an issue in need of repair, the diagnostic light will blink yellow or sometimes red. A yellow or red colored light means it’s time to call the experts at Hero Home Services to have them come out to your Minneapolis, MN home and do a repair.
