Onsite generator repairs, servicing & maintenance across Gauteng
Paulshof
Paulshof visits cover house and estate standby generators, plus generators at small businesses. ProService Generator Repairs services them on site and traces start, fuel, voltage and controller faults.

Paulshof sits between Sunninghill, Lonehill and the Fourways side, with Midrand beyond as its own area. Residential standby diesels are the usual call. A shop or small office set is included when that is the machine.
Hard starting after a quiet period is often the battery or diesel that has aged in the tank. A controller alarm is checked before either of those is blamed. Voltage faults are measured once the engine is actually running.
A service visit covers oil, filters and a short run so the next outage is not the first time the set is asked to work.
Servicing, fuel and start faults, with controller and voltage work when the symptom calls for it.
Oil, filters and a test that the set will start.
Start, fuel and output faults at the property.
Filters, aged diesel and air in the lines.
Battery, starter and shutdown checks.
Alarms that block an automatic start.
Low or unstable voltage under house or shop load.
Diesel-specific faults on standby sets.
A planned visit before the set is needed.
Paulshof faults mix estate standby sets and smaller business machines.
Battery and starter first if it will not turn. Fuel if it turns and will not fire.
Blocked filters and air leaks are confirmed before injectors are disturbed.
A latched alarm stops auto-start on sets that still crank in manual.
AVR and alternator are tested when the engine runs and appliances do not.
Engine speed and load are checked when the frequency reading falls.
Oil and filters left too long show up as smoke and hard starting.
A Paulshof no-start after weeks of standing is usually the battery or the fuel. A controller that is holding a shutdown is checked before those parts are replaced, because an alarm can look exactly like a flat battery.
House and small-shop loads that drag the voltage down are measured. Steady speed means look at the AVR and alternator. Falling speed means look at fuel and the load.
Where the property has an automatic set, transfer and alarm faults are diagnosed with the control panel. Manual-only sets skip that test.
Filters and contaminated diesel are the common fuel faults. The lift pump is checked if the engine still starves. Servicing covers oil, filters and the starting battery.
