What are the top reasons a Generac generator won't start?
Most no-start calls we see trace to overdue maintenance or transfer-switch/panel integration issues. Routine service—oil changes, filter replacements, and inspections—often restores reliable starts. We install and service whole-home systems, so our electricians can verify ATS operation and the generator’s integration with your electrical panel in Roanoke and Rocky Mount.
Quick checks:
- Note when the last oil and filter service was performed.
- Do not attempt panel or ATS work yourself; schedule a professional inspection.
- Ask about financing if repairs or replacement are needed.
