Whether you're preparing for severe Minnesota storms, dealing with frequent power outages, or looking for greater peace of mind, a whole-home generator could be exactly what you need. Thankfully, Go Electric, LLC provides professional generator installation, repair, and replacement services throughout Minneapolis and the surrounding areas. Our licensed electricians help homeowners keep essential systems running when utility power goes down.

Common Generator Problems We Solve

Your generator should provide reliable backup power when you need it most. If it isn't performing properly, your home could be left vulnerable during an outage. Our electricians diagnose and repair a wide range of generator issues for homeowners throughout Minneapolis and Central Minnesota.

Generator Won't Start

If your generator fails to turn on during testing or an outage, the problem could involve the battery, fuel system, electrical connections, or transfer switch. In some cases, underlying issues within your home's electrical system may require professional electrical repair services to restore reliable operation.

Generator Starts But Shuts Off

Generators that run briefly before shutting down may be experiencing fuel delivery issues, sensor failures, overheating, or internal component problems.

Warning Lights or Error Codes

Modern standby generators use onboard diagnostics to identify performance issues. We can troubleshoot error codes and perform the necessary repairs to keep your system running properly.

Inconsistent Power Output

If lights flicker or appliances struggle to operate while your generator is running, there may be electrical issues affecting performance. We can diagnose and correct these problems safely.

Transfer Switch Problems

The transfer switch is responsible for moving your home's power source from the utility grid to the generator. If this switch malfunctions, it can prevent your generator from turning on.

Aging or Outdated Generators

Older generators may become less reliable over time. We can evaluate your system and help determine whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.
