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.

This company is very professional and orderly. I called them up and they had somebody out there the next day. They communicated very well letting me know when they were arrive. They finished the job within three hours of arriving. They were very efficient and nice. I would highly recommend them!
Technician Joseph answered a call for my central air not coming on.
He was experienced and knew what to check out. Also, very friendly. I had central air working in no time at at all!!! Thanks Joseph.
The air conditioner serving the second floor of my brand-new house had problems from day one. For months, the builder kept sending different technicians, each trying to fix one issue after another, but no one addressed the actual cause. As a result, the upstairs bedrooms became unbearably hot, and we often had to sleep in the first\-floor family room just to stay comfortable.

Eventually, instead of waiting any longer for another warranty visit, I called GEM Plumbing & Heating – and I’m so glad I did.

GEM sent a technician, Dory, the very next day. He quickly identified the real problem: a refrigerant leak. It turned out that the builder’s technicians had been treating only the symptoms of the leak, such as condensate buildup, rather than finding and fixing the root cause.

Dory returned the following day with the necessary equipment, and resolved the issue. The air conditioning has been working great ever since.

I only wish I had called GEM from the beginning instead of enduring an uncomfortable summer.

A huge thank you to GEM—and especially to Dory—for real expertise and the outstanding service. Highly recommended!
Michael A. really helped us out by replacing our outdoor outlets, and then turning them all to face the way I needed them to work best for me. He also picked out an excellent flood light for our driveway. Michael was super friendly and efficient. Thank you!!
Two very nice, and helpful young men, came to my home. They were there to do an HVAC summer tuneup. They were quick and efficient. Moreover, they helped me move a couple of things as I am a 100% disabled vet who has had to have three right shoulder replacements..
Mini split water leak was evaluated, repaired and reasonably priced for the job.

Joan came out to determine the cause of our AquaCal Pool Heat Pump fault DPO ( defrost sensor code) upon inspection, he found that mice had chewed the wires in three areas.

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.
