Who needs it
Routine servicing in Irene, site by site
Estate homes: Residential generator services
A set that runs only in outages ages by the calendar: its battery, coolant and diesel decline whether or not the engine turns.
HOA and estate sets: Generator maintenance
Gate, guardhouse and pump sets that start on every outage under a light load and need load runs as well as oil.
Farms and smallholdings: Diesel fuel contamination
Sets that idle for weeks and then run for days in a long outage, on diesel that has stood in drums or a tank.
Schools, shops and venues: Commercial generator services
Sets at the Irene Village Mall, schools and wedding venues, serviced in holidays, before trading or between functions.
Servicing
What a generator service in Irene includes
In Irene the visit often starts at an estate gate, so book with your stand number and the estate’s contractor hours. Farm sets get extra time on fuel: stored diesel sampled, water separator drained, radiators cleared of dust and grass seed.
- 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.

Plans
Maintenance plans for Irene
Estate-home plans: Generator servicing
For a house set that seldom runs: a yearly service, test runs that prove the battery and changeover, and diesel checked for water.
HOA and estate plans: Residential generator services
One schedule and quotation for the trustees covering gate, guardhouse and pump sets, with a record each new committee inherits.
Farm and smallholding plans: Generator maintenance
Services by the calendar, fuel sampled, filters changed on time, and proof the set still starts the plot’s heaviest pump.
School, retail and venue plans: Commercial generator services
Visits in holidays or before trading, a transfer test under real load, and reports governing bodies and landlords can read.
Prevention
What an Irene service catches before the outage does
Most Irene breakdowns give warning to anyone looking. A drifting charger shows on a meter long before an estate battery fails; water in a farm tank shows in a sample before it reaches the injection pump; a sticking gate changeover contact shows on a test, not while residents wait at a dark boom.
If yours has already stopped, the Irene generator repairs page covers the faults we find here. We run the same plans next door in Centurion and Brooklyn and Waterkloof; our Centurion hub page lists the rest of the hub.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a service be booked inside our estate’s contractor hours?
Yes. Tell us the estate, your stand and the hours contractors may work, and we book inside them. The gate gets the technician’s name and vehicle beforehand.
Our home generator hardly ever runs. Does it still need a yearly service?
Yes. A standing set loses battery charge, its coolant ages and its diesel gathers water, so a yearly visit and a monthly test run keep it ready.
Can you service the HOA’s sets and residents’ home sets on the same day?
Yes, if the estate agrees. The HOA’s sets go on one schedule and quotation, and residents can book their own sets for the same day, each with its own record.
How do you service a farm set that stands idle for weeks?
By the calendar rather than the hour meter. We sample the stored diesel, drain the water separator, change aged filters, test the battery and charger, and run the set under the pump or house load it carries.
Can our school or venue be serviced without disturbing classes or a function?
Yes. We work 24/7, so the service goes into the holidays, a weekend or a quiet weekday, and the transfer test is booked for an hour you choose.
