Generator Replacement vs. Generator Repairs
Depending on the nature of the problem, generator repairs are the most cost-effective option if the generator is in relatively good condition and is only a few years old. Parts like a faulty starter or a dead battery can easily be replaced, and minor problems like fuel delivery or charging issues can usually be diagnosed and repaired inexpensively.
But if your generator is more than 20 years old, has become unreliable, or needs major work, such as alternator replacement, valve-train repairs, or engine rebuild, a replacement may be the best option. Then, you’ll have peace of mind and a generator that will perform reliably for decades.
Signs You Need a Generac Generator Replacement
With proper maintenance, standby generators can last up to 3,000 hours or 25 to 30 years. This means that once your generator reaches about 20 to 25 years old or starts having issues that are not cost-effective to repair, it’s time to start planning for a replacement. Here are some signs that it’s time to consider a new generator:
- The generator is more than 25 years old
- You’re unsure of the generator’s maintenance history
- The generator no longer runs smoothly
- It’s misfiring, lacks compression, or is hard to start
- It burns an excessive amount of fuel
- It can’t provide enough power for your home
- The power is not clean or consistent enough for modern electronics

Frequently Asked Questions
How large of a generator will I need?
The generator should be large enough to supply all the devices needed during a power outage, plus about 25% extra for startup surges and overhead. Our experts can use your utility bills and appliance nameplates to determine the generator size that will work best for your needs.
How often should I have my generator serviced?
The generator should be inspected and maintained once a year for the greatest longevity and reliability.
What happens if I overload the generator?
The generator will have circuit breakers built in to prevent damage to the generator in the event of an overload. Reduce the load on the system, then reset the breaker.
