Signs Your Generator Needs Repair in Indianapolis

A generator rarely quits without warning. Most give a few clues first.

  • Trouble starting when the power goes out
  • Leaks around the base or housing
  • Knocking sounds, vibration, or rattling
  • A burning smell or control panel errors
  • Power cutting in and out while running

Indianapolis weather can be rough on generators. Thunderstorms, lightning, and freezing winter nights all add stress to the system. If your generator is showing any of these signs, don’t wait until it fails completely. Call Chapman before the next storm rolls through.
