Roodepoort Generator Repairs, Servicing and Maintenance

Storm season
Lightning nearby: what to do before the next outage
- 01
Look, without opening anything
Check the controller screen and warning lights from outside the canopy. A blank screen, a tripped breaker or a smell of burning means it is time to call us.
- 02
Do not keep resetting alarms
Repeated resets and start attempts can turn a small fault into a bigger one. Note what the screen shows, or take a photo of it.
- 03
Note what else failed
Gate motors, alarm panels, borehole controllers or appliances that died in the same storm show the route the surge took.
- 04
Have the set tested
We test the controller, AVR, battery charger and changeover, check the alternator windings’ insulation and the earthing, and quote for each damaged part before repairing it.
Estate rules and contractor access
Much of Roodepoort’s newer housing is inside security estates and complexes, especially in Wilgeheuwel, Little Falls, Ruimsig and Honeydew. Contractor access is usually by appointment, with the resident or managing agent confirming the visit at the gate, and many estates set rules about generator noise, running times and where a set may stand. Tell us the estate’s requirements when you book, so the technician is expected.
Noise rules make maintenance more important, not less. Perished canopy seals, a blowing silencer joint or a loose panel can make a set louder than the estate allows, and a set that only runs during outages hides its faults until it is needed. Estates and bodies corporate with generators for gates, guardhouses and clubhouses get the most from a maintenance plan, with services and test runs booked at times the rules allow. Lightning damage to controllers is covered on our control panel repairs and AVR repairs pages.

Repairs, servicing and the areas next door
Repairs when the set has failed: Generator repairs
Fault finding on site for engine, fuel, alternator, AVR and changeover problems, with a quotation before any work starts.
Servicing before winter and the storm season: Generator servicing
Oil, filters, coolant, the battery and a test run under load. Cold Highveld mornings are when weak batteries, glow plugs and starter motors give up.
Smallholdings and borehole pumps: kVA sizing guide
A submersible pump needs a surge of current to get going, and a long cable from the generator adds voltage drop. Both have to be allowed for when a set is chosen or repaired.
Next door: Krugersdorp, Randburg and Soweto
Roodepoort borders Mogale City, so we work on into Krugersdorp and the rest of the West Rand, as well as Randburg, Soweto and the rest of Johannesburg.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you work inside the estates in Wilgeheuwel, Ruimsig and Little Falls?
Yes. Let us know the estate’s contractor access arrangements and any rules on noise or working hours when you book, and we follow them.
Our generator stopped working after a thunderstorm. Can you fix it?
Usually. Lightning surges commonly damage controllers, AVRs and battery chargers. We test each part and quote for what needs repair. See control panel repairs.
Our smallholding generator struggles to start the borehole pump. Why?
Usually the set is too small for the pump’s starting current, the cable to the pump is long enough for the voltage to sag, or a tired governor or AVR recovers too slowly. We check the set and the load and tell you whether a repair, a soft starter fitted by your pump installer, or a larger set is the answer.
Our generator is louder than the estate allows. Can that be fixed?
Often. Noise rises when canopy seals and acoustic lining perish, a silencer or exhaust joint starts blowing, or a panel works loose, and we repair these during a service. A set in a poor position may also need moving.
