This spring
Spring tune-ups run March 2 to May 29
A generator that sat all winter is easier to fix in April than in the middle of a summer outage. Pick your week now.
We post each season's dates here and text you the day before your visit.
Visits run Monday through Saturday
Plan members choose their week first

A service visit
What happens when we come
Six steps, in this order, every visit.
- 01
A text the day before
It names who is coming and the arrival window. Someone 18 or older should be home to let us in.
- 02
We look it over
The enclosure, wiring, fuel connections, vents and the space around the unit, with photos as we go.
- 03
Oil, filters and battery
Oil and filter, then the air filter and spark plugs when the maker's schedule says so, and a battery test.
- 04
The transfer switch
We open it, check the connections and make sure it moves the house to the generator and back.
- 05
Start it, run it
We start it, let it run and shut it down. On the load-test plans we switch the house over and watch it carry the load.
- 06
The written report
What we did, what we saw and what to watch, with photos. A repair is quoted before any work, and you say yes first.
Why a plan
A calm weekday visit, or the next outage
A generator is easy to forget until the lights go out. Here is what changes when it is looked at once a year.
| Waiting for the outage | A plan visit | |
|---|---|---|
| When a problem shows up | Waiting for the outageWhen the power is already out | A plan visitOn a calm weekday, with time to order a part |
| The battery | Waiting for the outageFound flat when you need it | A plan visitTested at every visit |
| The transfer switch | Waiting for the outageNot looked at since it was installed | A plan visitOpened and checked |
| Who knows your generator | Waiting for the outageWhoever can come | A plan visitThe same crew, with last year's report in hand |
From customers
What people say after a visit
“Brayan sent a photo at every step. The battery tested weak, so we replaced it in April instead of finding out during an outage.”
Guadalupe T.Annual Service
“I did not know our transfer switch had never been checked. They moved the whole house over to the generator, showed me, and left a written report.”
Sandeep K.Service + Load Test
“Blanca texts before every visit and again before the plan renews. I never have to remember a date.”

Questions
Questions we hear before a first visit
What does a service visit cover?
We inspect the unit, change the oil and filter, test the battery, check the transfer switch, run the generator and leave you a written report with photos. Load-test plans add a test with the house running on the generator.
What is a load test, and why bother?
We switch your house over to the generator and let it carry the real load for a while. A generator can start fine with nothing running and still struggle once the house is on it. The test shows you that before an outage does.
Is a plan the same as insurance or a warranty?
No. A plan pays for scheduled visits. It does not pay for parts or repairs, and it is not a warranty. If something needs fixing, we quote it and you decide.
What if my generator will not start during an outage?
Call or text us. We answer in our office hours only, and Priority plan calls go first on the repair list. We cannot promise an arrival time. If there is smoke or fire, call 911. For an outage itself, call your utility.
Are you licensed and insured, and how do I check?
Yes to both. Our Texas electrical contractor license number is in the footer of every page, and the state's license search shows its status. A certificate of insurance is yours on request.
