When the lights go out, the company that answers first gets the job done first. Our whole line is built around speed: you speak to a rep, you get a call back in about a minute, and a technician is on the road to you the same day whenever a crew is free.
A standby generator is intended to provide electricity when normal utility power is unavailable. When that generator fails to start or stops unexpectedly, the situation can become stressful. Homeowners may be concerned about heating, refrigeration, or important household systems. Businesses may face interruptions to equipment, communications, and daily operations.
ABBOTSFORD STAND BY GENERATORS PROS accepts emergency generator service requests 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout our Fraser Valley service area. We help customers report the problem, recognize important safety concerns, and understand the next appropriate step. Call (604) 455-5765 to request assistance.
Generator problems can have several causes, including battery issues, fuel supply problems, control faults, protective shutdowns, mechanical failures, or transfer equipment concerns. A fault should be evaluated rather than repeatedly resetting the equipment without understanding the cause.
Emergency service availability depends on the time, location, equipment type, technician availability, and parts requirements. A service request does not guarantee immediate attendance or repair. We prioritize clear communication and safe fault assessment.
If you smell gas, notice smoke, hear electrical arcing, or observe another immediate hazard, move away and contact the appropriate emergency service or gas utility. Do not attempt unsafe generator repairs.

Low oil, heat, an overloaded circuit or poor fuel pressure. The shutdown is the generator protecting itself. The cause is the problem.
Our fix: We read the alarm history, check load and fuel pressure, and fix the cause instead of clearing the code.
This is my problem →Controllers log the real reason for a fault. Most owners never see it until the next outage.
Our fix: We decode it, check the service history and give you a plain-English answer.
This is my problem →A standby generator sits idle for months. Oil, filters, battery and weekly exercise decide whether it starts on the one night you need it.
Our fix: A service visit with a written checklist, a load test and a battery check.
This is my problem →It was sized for the fridge and lights, not for motors that pull a surge on start-up.
Our fix: We measure the real loads and show you what a proper size, or smart load management, looks like.
This is my problem →Ask us anything. We pick up.

A generator that fails to start may have a battery, control, fuel, or mechanical problem. Repeated starting attempts may be inappropriate until the cause is understood.
If the generator starts but the expected circuits remain without power, the issue may involve the transfer system, electrical protection, connected loads, or control equipment. This requires careful evaluation because generator and utility supplies must remain properly isolated.
An automatic shutdown may occur when the generator detects an abnormal operating condition. Displayed alarm codes and service history can help with diagnosis, but protective devices should not be bypassed.
Generators produce electricity and combustion exhaust and may involve combustible fuel systems. Customers should not attempt improvised electrical connections, modify fuel piping, or operate fuel-burning equipment in enclosed spaces.
A generator that will not start may have insufficient battery power, a control issue, a fuel problem, or another fault. We collect equipment information, alarm messages, and relevant operating details to help determine the next step. Professional assessment may be necessary before the equipment can be safely returned to service. Customers should avoid bypassing protective controls or repeatedly attempting to start equipment that has reported a serious fault.
Sometimes a standby generator starts normally but the building does not receive electricity. The problem may involve transfer equipment, electrical protection, control settings, or connected wiring. A qualified assessment is important because unsafe electrical modifications can create serious hazards. We help arrange appropriate evaluation of the generator and associated transfer equipment.
Generator alarm systems can identify abnormal conditions involving engine operation, electrical output, fuel, controls, or other components. Recording the displayed code can be useful for troubleshooting. We encourage customers not to clear repeated alarms or bypass protective shutdowns without appropriate technical guidance. Diagnosis should identify the reason for the alarm before returning the generator to normal operation.
A generator may shut down in response to an overload, high temperature, mechanical problem, or protective system. Restarting the unit without understanding the cause can increase risk. We review the symptoms, connected electrical loads, and available equipment information to determine what assessment or repair may be required.
Natural gas and propane standby generators depend on a suitable fuel supply. Problems involving pressure, delivery, controls, or fuel-system components may prevent operation. Fuel-gas work requires appropriately qualified professionals. If a gas leak is suspected, leave the area and contact the gas utility or emergency services rather than attempting a repair.
Commercial generator faults may affect refrigeration, communications, security systems, pumps, and other operational equipment. We help businesses describe the problem and identify appropriate assessment requirements. Specialized commercial systems may need manufacturer-specific parts, additional qualified trades, or further technical investigation. Response arrangements depend on available resources and equipment requirements.
