"Fantastic!"
Consumer Services Electric came within several days, which was important because the washer & dryer are in the Utility Room and we wouldn't be able to see to do laundry.
Frank A. -
"Extremely Knowledgeable!"
They more than fixed the problem. They were knowledgeable. He spent an extra half hour to make sure the job was done right and communicated well with me.

Common Signs Your Home Generator Needs Repair
Detroit’s winters, spring flooding, and summer thunderstorms put real stress on standby systems. Generators that sit dormant between outages are especially vulnerable: fuel degrades, components lose lubrication, and batteries lose their charge. Here are the symptoms that typically signal a repair visit is needed:
- Fails to start: Dead starter batteries, fuel delivery problems, and control board faults are the most frequent causes.
- Starts but shuts down quickly: Overload conditions, fuel supply issues, or a cooling system fault can trigger automatic shutdown.
- Runs but produces no power: This often points to an automatic transfer switch fault or an internal electrical failure.
- Hard starts in cold weather: Michigan winters reduce battery capacity and affect oil viscosity, making startup failures more common from November through March.
- Visible corrosion, unusual odors, or error codes: Any of these warrant a professional diagnostic before the next outage, not after.
What a Generator Repair Visit Covers
We diagnose root causes, not just surface symptoms. A repair visit from our licensed electricians covers battery condition and charge, starter system function, fuel delivery, spark plugs, oil level and condition, automatic transfer switch operation, and control board diagnostics. For Detroit homeowners, an annual inspection timed to spring or fall can catch developing problems before they become emergency calls.
We service all major residential generator brands and complete load testing after repairs to help confirm the system is performing properly before we leave. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what we did.
Your feedback means the world to us! If you had a great experience with our team, we’d love to hear about it. Your 5-star review helps us continue to provide top-notch service and lets others know they can trust us.
