Here’s How to Tell if You Need a New Generator

If your system is showing signs of wear or inconsistent performance, it may be time to consider a replacement.

If your generator needs regular repairs or service calls, it may be reaching the end of its lifespan. Ongoing issues can quickly add up, making replacement the more reliable and cost-effective option.

A standby generator should turn on automatically when the power goes out. If it hesitates, struggles, or fails to start at all, your home could be left unprotected during an outage.

If lights flicker, appliances struggle, or your system can’t power essential equipment, your generator may be undersized or losing capacity. A replacement ensures your home gets the dependable coverage it needs.

Outdoor generators are exposed to the elements year-round. Significant rust, corrosion, or physical damage can impact performance and signal it’s time for an upgrade.

I wasn’t anticipating a plumbing issue on a Friday before a long weekend but there I was with a busted hot water tank and a very wet floor. I called GEM at 1030am and by 130 Carmelo and Marcelo were at my house. They quickly diagnosed the situation and we scheduled an appointment for Sat am to have the tank replaced. Sat AM they were there earlier than planned and completed the job efficiently and professionally. Very happy with this company !

GEM Will Help You Find the Right Generator For Your Home

Different generators come with different capacities and features, and choosing the right one can feel overwhelming.

Think about which appliances and systems you want to run during an outage. A professional load calculation ensures your generator can handle your essential equipment without overloading.

Generators can run on natural gas, propane, or diesel. We’ll review your home’s existing fuel sources to determine the most efficient and practical option.

Standby generators turn on automatically when the power goes out, offering seamless protection. This is especially important for homes with medical devices or critical systems.

Modern generators are designed to run more quietly, but placement still matters. We’ll help determine the ideal location that meets local codes and keeps noise to a minimum.
