Generator Repair in Auburn

Licensed Electrical Contractor Serving Auburn, WA Homes & Businesses

When a generator fails, the problem isn’t always the unit itself. It can be the transfer switch, the panel connection, or the wiring that ties the whole backup power system together. As a licensed electrical contractor, we diagnose and repair all of it under one roof, without handing the electrical side off to a second crew. Custom Electrical Services has served residential and commercial customers across the Pacific Northwest since 2009, and our team is licensed, insured, bonded, and holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

Auburn, WA sits in southern King County, where fall and winter windstorms regularly bring down trees and power lines. Puget Sound Energy crews work to restore service after major storms, but some Auburn-area residents have been told full restoration could take a couple of days. A generator that won’t start during one of those outages leaves a home or business without heat, refrigeration, or medical-equipment power at exactly the wrong moment.

Don’t wait until the next storm to find out your generator isn’t ready. Call Custom Electrical Services at (425) 699-7977 to schedule a generator repair assessment in Auburn.

Signs Your Generator Needs Professional Attention

Generators that sit unused for months are prime candidates for fuel degradation, battery discharge, and corroded connections. These problems tend to stay hidden until the power goes out and the unit is called on to perform. Outdoor generators in Auburn face an added challenge: the region’s intense wind and rain can compromise seals, damage casings from flying debris, and accelerate battery and fuel system decline.

Any of the following signals a problem worth diagnosing before the next outage:

  • Failure to start
  • Stalling partway through an outage
  • Transfer switch faults that interrupt the switch from utility to backup power
  • Dead or weak battery preventing the automatic start sequence
  • Fuel system issues from degraded or contaminated fuel sitting in the tank
  • Corrosion on connections from prolonged moisture exposure

What a Generator Repair Visit Covers

Our technicians trace a failure to its root cause across the engine, fuel system, battery, control board, and any connected electrical components, including the automatic transfer switch and panel wiring. Because we’re a full-service electrical contractor, we handle the generator and the electrical infrastructure it connects to in a single visit. Skipping regular maintenance is one of the most common reasons generators develop these problems. Generac recommends servicing standby generators every six months, and our factory-trained, certified technicians perform maintenance to that standard.

Repair or Replace: How to Make the Call

Most generators that have been maintained and are dealing with an isolated component failure are good candidates for repair. When internal damage results from years of neglect, the cost and scope of repair can make full replacement the more practical long-term choice. Our technicians assess the generator’s condition honestly and can walk you through the options before any work begins. We provide a free, detailed estimate with transparent, upfront pricing.
