Why Your Generator Won’t Start During Power Outages

The electrical power went out and my generator didn’t start, WHY? Is this a question you have asked yourself during one of those ice storm power outages in Shelby, Gastonia, Kings Mtn, Forest City and other areas of Western North Carolina.

During a utility power outage, an emergency generator provides numerous advantages over a portable generator. Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage.

Over 52% of the generators that did not start during the last hurricane was because of improper or no maintenance service. How can I make sure my generator will start when the power goes out? Have your generator serviced by a trained and certified professional.
