Who needs it
Routine servicing in Florida
Older houses and Fleurhof’s new homes: Residential generator services
Sets that run a few outages a year and otherwise stand, while battery, fuel and changeover age regardless.
Blocks of flats around the lake: Wet stacking
The shared set runs every outage lightly loaded, so wet stacking and a tired battery are the usual findings.
Shops, medical rooms and the campus: Commercial generator services
Sets that must hold voltage for tills, fridges and equipment, serviced before opening or after the last lecture.
Workshops in Stormill and Robertville: Industrial generator services
Sets carrying machines through every daytime slot gain hours fast and breathe dust; serviced between shifts.
Servicing
What a generator service in Florida includes
A Florida service happens in a side passage or a block’s yard as often as in a garden, so the technician checks how the set breathes before draining the oil, and the trustees get the booking and the report.
- Engine oil and filter, with the fuel, air and water-separator filters
- Coolant level and condition, radiator, hoses and belts
- Starting battery load-tested, charger output and terminals checked
- Fuel system checked for leaks, water and contamination, tank to injectors
- Alternator, AVR, output connections and earthing checked
- Controller settings, alarms and hour meter recorded
- Test run under load: voltage, frequency and temperatures
- Changeover (ATS) operation confirmed where fitted
You get a written record of what was done and found. The full list is in our service checklist; generator servicing explains the work and a maintenance plan keeps it on schedule.
Intervals
How often a Florida generator needs a service
| The set | How it runs in Florida | When the next service is due |
|---|---|---|
| House set in a side passage | How it runs in FloridaA few outages a year and a weekly test | When the next service is dueYearly at least; the parts age regardless |
| Shared set at a block of flats | How it runs in FloridaEvery outage, lightly loaded | When the next service is dueYearly, with a run under real load |
| Shop, medical-room or campus set | How it runs in FloridaEvery working-day slot | When the next service is dueBy hours in a heavy quarter, otherwise yearly |
| Workshop set in Stormill | How it runs in FloridaEvery daytime slot, in dust | When the next service is dueBy hours, often within months |
| Portable petrol set in Fleurhof | How it runs in FloridaHours at a stretch in a long outage | When the next service is dueEach season, with fresh petrol |
The service intervals guide turns an hour-meter reading into a date; wet stacking covers light running.
Plans
Maintenance plans for Florida
Home plans: Generator servicing
For a house in Florida, Discovery or Bergbron: a service before the storms and test runs that prove the battery and changeover.
Body corporate plans: Residential generator services
For the blocks: one approval a year from the trustees, a monthly loaded run for the lifts and gate, a file that outlives the agent.
Practice, shop and campus plans: Generator maintenance
For medical rooms, shops and the campus: changeover tested outside working hours, voltage logged under load, reports an insurer can read.
Workshop plans: Industrial generator services
For Stormill, Robertville and Manufacta: the hour meter sets the date, drums are checked for water, radiator and air filter cleared of dust.
Prevention
What a Florida service catches before the outage does
Most Florida repairs show weeks earlier. A drifting charger at a block’s set shows on a meter long before the battery fails; water under a workshop’s drum diesel is drained before the lift pump finds it; passage dust is cleared from a radiator before the first hot afternoon; and a sticking changeover contactor is found on a test, not by a dark shop.
When a set has already stopped, the Florida generator repairs page describes the faults behind most callouts and what to photograph before we arrive. The same schedules run in neighbouring Roodepoort, Weltevreden Park and Industria and Crown Mines, across the Roodepoort hub and on the service index.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you service a generator in a narrow side passage without moving it?
Usually. Oil, filters, coolant and battery work need the service doors open, not the canopy out; if the passage is too tight even for that, we say so and discuss a plinth.
How often should a block of flats have its shared generator serviced?
At least yearly, sooner if load shedding reaches the hours interval first. Because it runs lightly loaded, each service ends with a run under real load, and the trustees get the report.
Can you service our Stormill workshop set without stopping the floor?
Yes. Everything but the loaded run and the changeover test happens with the workshop on mains, and those two go between shifts or over the lunch break. We work 24/7.
What does a service check at consulting rooms beyond oil and filters?
Voltage and frequency under the rooms’ own load, the AVR, the changeover and the battery. Fridges and electronic equipment object to swinging voltage first, so the loaded run is logged on the report.
