ATS and controller faults
If the generator starts in manual but the building never transfers, the controller and changeover are tested before the engine is stripped.

ProService Generator Repairs works onsite in northern Johannesburg for homes, offices and residential complexes that keep a standby generator. The work here is often about automatic start, voltage stability and keeping a set ready between outages.
Standby Generators Around Rosebank, Parktown and Houghton
Johannesburg North in this coverage runs through Parktown, Rosebank, Houghton, Parkhurst, Melrose and the surrounding suburbs listed below. It is not the Sandton or Randburg service area. Those markets have their own coverage.
Many sites here are townhouses, apartment buildings and small offices with a canopy set that is expected to start on its own. When it does not, the fault is often the battery, the controller, or the changeover rather than a seized engine.
We also service household standby sets that are only asked to run a few times a year. Those generators need oil, filters and a proper test run, because a set that has sat can fail on the first start after a long quiet period.
Generator Services in Johannesburg North
Callouts in the northern suburbs concentrate on standby sets for homes, complexes and offices.
Generator Repairs
Onsite diagnosis when a northern Johannesburg set will not start, will not transfer, or will not hold voltage.
Generator Servicing
Oil, filters and an inspection for standby sets that spend most of the year waiting.
Generator Maintenance
A planned visit so complex and office sets are checked before the next outage, not after they fail.
Emergency Generator Repairs
Fault support when a set fails during an outage. The visit time is confirmed when you call.
Control Panel Repairs
AMF and ATS faults that leave a building on utility power while the generator is healthy.
AVR Repairs
Voltage that sags or hunts once the set is loaded, common on office and complex loads.
Common Generator Problems We Diagnose
Northern Johannesburg callouts cluster around automatic standby behaviour and electrical output, not only mechanical wear.
AVR and voltage faults
Lights that dim or equipment that drops out under load point to regulation, wiring or the alternator. Output is measured rather than adjusted blindly.
Battery and start faults
A complex set that clicks and stops is often a battery that was not charged between outages, or poor terminals, not a failed engine.
Preventative servicing gaps
Sets that have not had oil and filters changed fail their first automatic start. Servicing includes a run so the fault shows up on the visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Johannesburg North page for a repair, a service visit or ongoing maintenance?
This is the local page for Johannesburg North. A repair is a breakdown. Servicing is one planned visit for oil, filters and inspection. Maintenance is the ongoing schedule that keeps a standby set ready. Book the matching job, then send this suburb.
Do you repair generators in Rosebank and Parktown?
Yes. Onsite generator repairs and servicing cover Rosebank, Parktown and the other Johannesburg North suburbs listed below.
Is Sandton included in Johannesburg North?
No. Sandton is a separate service area. This page stays on the northern suburbs from Parktown through Houghton, Melrose and Norwood.
Can you fix an ATS that will not change over?
Yes. If the generator runs but the building does not transfer, the controller and changeover are tested on site.
Do you service generators in apartment complexes?
Yes. Shared standby sets in residential complexes are serviced and repaired where they are installed.
What causes unstable voltage on a standby set?
Unstable voltage can be the AVR, alternator, wiring or the load itself. It is measured before parts are replaced.
Do you replace generator batteries in Johannesburg North?
Yes, when testing shows the battery or its connections are the reason the set will not crank. The charging circuit is checked as well.
