Whole-Home Generator Repair in Texas

A standby generator that won’t start during an outage needs fixing today. Grasten repairs Generac, Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton generators across Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth, with 24/7 support and parts on the truck.

Generator Repair

Generator Repair for Every Major Brand

Over time, every standby generator shows normal wear and tear. A unit can grow inefficient or noisy, or develop a fault that poses a fire hazard, and the worst time to learn it won’t run is the morning the grid goes down. Grasten’s factory-trained technicians diagnose the whole system, from the battery and controller to the transfer switch and fuel supply.

We repair the generators we install and the ones we didn’t: Generac, Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton, on natural gas, propane or diesel, for homes and businesses across Texas.

Warning Signs

Signs Your Generator Needs Repair

Generators usually tell you something is wrong before they fail. If you spot any of these, call our service line before the next outage tests the unit.

It shuts off on its own soon after starting
The engine runs, but your home stays on utility power or none
It sounds louder or rougher than it used to
Fuel use has climbed with no change in how you run it
You see oil, coolant or fuel on the pad
You notice scorching, melted wiring or a burning smell
Your last maintenance visit was more than twelve months ago

What We Repair

Generator Repairs We Handle Every Week

Even with consistent maintenance, parts wear out. Warranty repairs under the 12-Year Power Plus Warranty cover labor, travel, parts and major components, and non-warrantied repairs are available on any brand. Here is where our technicians look first.

Dead Batteries & Chargers

Texas summers are hard on generator batteries, and a battery that can't crank the engine is behind more no-start calls than any other part. We load-test it, check the charger, and swap whichever has worn out from the stock on our van.

Automatic Transfer Switch Repair

If your generator is humming but the lights are still off, the automatic transfer switch is the first suspect. Our technicians test the switch, its contacts and its controls, then repair or replace it on Generac, Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton units.

Gas Supply & Regulator Issues

A generator that starts and then stalls is often short on fuel. We check the gas meter, line size, regulator and valves on natural gas and propane systems, and coordinate with your utility if the supply itself needs work.

Controller Errors & Alarms

Every fault the controller logs tells part of the story. With Grasten's remote monitoring, those codes reach our team in real time, so our technicians diagnose faster and can update the firmware or replace a failed board.

Engine, Oil & Cooling Faults

Low oil pressure, overheating and worn ignition parts make the engine shut itself down to avoid damage. We find what tripped the protection, fix it to factory specifications and confirm the unit runs under load before we leave.

Wiring, Rodent & Weather Damage

Chewed wires, corroded connectors and debris inside the enclosure can stop a generator that looks fine from the street. We trace the damage, replace harnesses and sensors, and reseal the enclosure so it stays protected.

Emergency Service

Emergency Generator Repair, Around the Clock

Power outages don’t keep business hours, and neither does our service line. A real person answers 24/7, whether it’s 2am or a holiday weekend, and our trained technicians are ready to help with any standby generator emergency across Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth.

Reach the service line at 281-259-6500. Our stocked service vans and Texas parts warehouse mean a rapid response when the unit is down, and if the part is on the truck, we fix it on the first visit.

What to Expect

How a Repair Visit Works

Every repair visit follows the same three steps, so you always know what comes next.

We Investigate the Problem

Tell us the brand, the model and what the generator is doing. Our technician investigates the whole system on site, finds the cause and walks you through the solution.

We Repair to Factory Specifications

Our factory-trained technicians repair your generator to factory specifications, using the parts and tools stocked on our service vehicles, so the repair doesn't wait on a parts order.

We Inspect the Rest of the System

An inspection of the rest of your system at the time of repair lets you know if there are any other potential issues that need to be addressed before the next breakdown occurs.

Fewer Repairs

Most Repairs Are Preventable

The repairs above rarely appear overnight. A tired battery, a clogged filter or drifting fuel pressure shows up during an annual check-up long before it stops your generator during an outage. Call 281-259-6500 to sign up for a maintenance plan, and remember that every manufacturer and dealer warranty, including the 12-Year Power Plus Warranty, requires annual maintenance. Annual service by our team keeps that coverage active and the repair bill small.
