Generator Repairs, Maintenance, and Installation Services In New Orleans, Louisiana

Routine generator maintenance should be performed at least once a year, or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. In coastal areas like New Orleans, salt air and humidity can accelerate wear, so more frequent inspections are ideal. Regular maintenance ensures reliable operation during power outages, reduces the risk of costly repairs, and keeps the warranty valid. It includes oil changes, battery checks, air filter replacements, and diagnostic testing—all of which help your generator respond instantly when you need it most.

Early signs of generator issues include slow start-ups, strange noises, frequent shutdowns, burning smells, or flashing warning lights. You may also notice inconsistent power output or fuel/oil leaks. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to a complete breakdown during an outage. Gore’s Services offers thorough inspections and timely repairs to prevent small issues from escalating into emergencies.

The best generator depends on your power needs, fuel source, and budget. Standby generators (natural gas or propane) are ideal for seamless whole-house power during storms. Portable models are more budget-friendly but limited in capacity. Gore’s Services conducts load assessments to recommend the most efficient and cost-effective solution tailored to your property’s size and energy demands.

Our maintenance includes: changing oil and filters, testing the battery and starter system, checking coolant levels, inspecting spark plugs, cleaning air filters, and running diagnostics. We also perform load testing and visual inspections for leaks or corrosion. Each visit is logged, which helps with future service planning and warranty tracking.

Only standby generators with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) will turn on automatically when the power goes out. Gore’s Services installs ATS systems that sense outages within seconds and activate your generator immediately—ensuring uninterrupted power even if you're not home.

• Generators can run on natural gas, propane, or diesel.
• Natural gas is convenient and cost-effective if lines are available.
• Propane burns clean and is ideal for off-grid properties.
• Diesel is robust but requires proper storage and more emissions control.

We’ll help you choose based on availability, environmental conditions, and your backup duration needs.

Most manufacturers provide limited warranties that cover defects in parts and workmanship—typically 5-10 years for standby units. However, coverage may be voided if the unit isn’t installed or maintained by certified professionals.
