Moreau’s Thermal Services offers whole-home generator installation, maintenance, and repair. Learn more about our services below.
Residential Generator Installation
With a whole-home generator, you’ll never have to worry about when the power might come back on. Many Lacombe whole-home generators automatically detect power failures and switch on when necessary. That means no trudging around outside in the rain to get your generator to work.
Perks of installing a residential generator include:
- Most home generators can run continuously for 500 hours or more. They keep working until the unit runs out of fuel. Comparatively, portable generators can only run for about 6 to 18 hours before needing refueling.
- Generators are a must if anyone in your household uses medical equipment that relies on electricity. Your generator will keep their equipment working throughout a lengthy power outage.
- You can’t go without air conditioning during our balmy summer months. Your generator will keep your AC working as if the power never failed.
- During an extended power outage, the food in your refrigerator and freezer can spoil. If you don’t want to lose hundreds of dollars’ worth of food, it’s wise to install a whole-home generator.
Backup Generator Maintenance
We recommend scheduling generator maintenance annually for the best performance. Regular maintenance ensures your generator will work when you need it most.
During maintenance, we’ll check the unit’s battery condition and charge level, oil levels, fuel lines, and valves. We will also check for fuel leaks and clean the unit.
If it’s been a while since you last changed the oil, we will need to drain and replace it. We’ll replace the oil filter with a new one, too. Oil filters can become severely clogged if you don’t replace them regularly.
As part of our whole-home generator services in Lacombe, LA, we will check your unit’s transfer switch if you have an automatic unit. The transfer switch turns your generator on automatically when the power fails. If it stops working, you’ll have to turn it on manually.
Home Generator Repair Services
Most generator models will display a green light when everything is working properly and a red light when something is wrong. Call us for repairs if your generator’s light is red or the unit is sounding an audible alarm.
Signs that your generator might need repairs include:
- Your generator takes a long time to start. When the power goes out, your generator should wait a few seconds before kicking on. If it takes much longer than that, it might need repairs.
- The power flow isn’t consistent. This could indicate something wrong with the control panel or master phase selector switch.
- You spot cracks in the fuel lines or smell fuel when standing close to the generator.
- Your generator’s battery has a poor charge. It may be time to replace the battery with a new one (generator batteries typically need replacing every three years).
- Your generator’s wires are fraying or show signs of rodent damage.
