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.

The GEM plumbers were fantastic. They hooked up a new spigot and a back flow preventer for the drip irrigation system I will have installed soon. They explained everything, they were fast and respected my home during the job. I highly recommend GEM for your next plumbing repair or upgrade.
Today Nicole from GEM extended the pipe and added a female adapter for the irrigation system. She was speedy and fantastic!
Josh was very pleasant, helpful and efficient. He worked on adding a valve to our boiler. Not sure how to answer other questions.
Called GEM this morning when I discovered that our water heater decided to stop working some time in the night. Ari in the office was extremely nice and was able to schedule a technician to come out same day. John was great, super helpful, and knowledgeable. He explained the system we have and what was going on. He was great with answering my questions and I really appreciated his taking the time to go over the various components of the water heater as well as answering my questions about their membership maintenance program. I look forward to working with GEM moving forward.
Professional installers from start to finish.
Douglas V. was prompt, provided great service and quality work. Douglas is professional and knowledgeable in his field. Highly recommend for HVAC repairs and maintenance needs.
Very nice technicians polite and did a great job tune up on my generator thank you
Aaron came for a 2nd successful visit. This time to figure out the cause of low/no water pressure in some of our H&C setups for 5 bathroom sinks. He left with 3 sinks H&C flowing freely & demonstrated the need for 2 new faucet installations so Hot H2O could be restored to the remaining sinks. Much appreciated as others had immediately started talking about replacing pipes without investigating less complicated solutions. As before, Aaron was a professional pleasure to have in our home & pricing will be the only holdup for us to continue with the faucet installations. Due to him, I have high hopes for the GEM electrician arriving next week & the HVAC maintenance later this month.
Courteous friendly service people, give complete information about work needed.
Those guys were awesome. They were very respectful and professional.

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.
