Business premises

Commercial generator fault diagnosis

A commercial failure is usually a standby set that did not take the building, took it and then tripped, or has been unreliable between outages. The visit starts with that result: no automatic start, no transfer, a controller alarm, low voltage, or a shutdown under the shop or office load.

Most of these sets are diesel, with an ATS and a controller, in a plant room, a yard or a basement. Access, a site contact, and whether the mains is currently off all change how the visit is planned. Petrol sets at a small shop are still booked, on the petrol pages, when that is the fuel.

Servicing and maintenance are separate from the breakdown. A planned service changes what is due. Maintenance is the readiness between those visits: batteries, start tests and faults caught before the next outage. Load testing is used when the site needs to know the set can carry a defined load.

The commercial visit

Diesel standby, automatic start and looking after the set

  • Commercial diesel generator repairs

    Fuel, starting, cooling and output on the diesel sets that carry offices and retail. The diesel hub lists engine brands.

  • Standby generator repairs

    Sets that wait. A fault after weeks of sitting is often the battery, fuel or a controller that was already in alarm.

  • ATS and automatic start problems

    The building stayed on a dead mains supply. The start signal and the transfer are the commercial version of that complaint.

  • Generator controller repairs

    Alarms that stop a start overnight, when nobody is at the panel to press a button.

  • Commercial generator servicing

    Oil, filters and the checks due for that engine, booked so the visit is not only after a failure.

  • Preventative maintenance

    Hours, batteries and a start test on a contract or a planned visit. It is wider than one oil change.

  • Load testing

    A controlled load when a start in the plant room does not prove the tenants or the tills.

  • Generator sizes

    Commercial sets often sit from the smaller business range upward. The plate, not the canopy, is the size.

  • Commercial generator callouts

    The suburb, a site contact, the fuel and the fault. Same-day is offered only when a slot is open.

Common Questions

Questions about commercial generator repairs

What is a commercial generator repair?

A repair on a generator serving a business premises, such as an office, shop, complex, warehouse or workshop.

Do you work on body corporate and complex generators?

Yes. Access and a person who can be on site are arranged with the booking.

Is commercial the same as industrial?

No. Commercial here means business premises and standby for that building. Industrial is the larger diesel plant and heavy standby work.

The generator did not start during load shedding. Can you look at that?

Yes. Automatic start, the battery and the ATS are the first split on a standby set that stayed silent.

Do you service commercial generators as well as repair them?

Yes. A planned service is booked separately from a breakdown so the scope is clear.

Can you test whether it will carry the building?

A run proves it starts. A load bank test is the booking when you need a defined load.

Which brands?

A wide range of diesel and petrol makes already listed on the makes and models page, subject to the set, the fault and parts.

Where in Gauteng?

Johannesburg, Pretoria, Sandton, Centurion, Midrand, the East Rand, Randburg, the West Rand and the Vaal.
