Quiet, reliable backup power for Bedfordview
Bedfordview expects things to simply work. In the large homes off Kloof and Osborn Roads, a standby generator or inverter is there so an evening carries on uninterrupted; along the Van Buuren Road business strip and around Bedford Centre, the boutique offices, medical suites and restaurants need power that never blinks. A generator delivers that — right up until the morning it cranks and won’t catch, or the changeover sticks and the building stays dark with the set idling outside.
That’s where we come in. Electromech repairs, services and maintains diesel generator sets rated 100 kVA and up across Bedfordview, with technicians qualified in both the mechanical and electrical trades. We fix the engine and the electrics, source spares from the original manufacturer, and issue a Certificate of Compliance on the electrical work — useful in an area where property changes hands at a premium.
What we repair & service
The whole generator, looked after properly
Office and complex standby sets to larger plant — diesel sets 100 kVA and up.
Changeover & ATS
The set runs but the office stays dark? The transfer switch is usually why. We repair manual and automatic changeovers for a clean, safe hand-over.
Servicing & load testing
Oil, filters, coolant, belts and a genuine load test on a schedule — the quiet work that stops the loud failures.
Maintenance plans
Service agreements for offices, practices and body corporates, with optional diesel fill and a preventative programme.

Alternators & panels
No output, unstable voltage and controller faults on the electrical side — the part a generator-only mechanic often can’t reach.
Breakdown call-outs
A set down during an outage needs a fast answer. Our standby team attends, backed by our Bedfordview emergency electricians.
How often, and why it matters
A serviced set starts; a neglected one lets you down
Most standby generators want a service roughly once a year or every 200 running hours, whichever comes first — more often if they work hard through a bad load-shedding stretch. Skip it and the failures are predictable: a flat battery, gummed-up fuel, a belt that’s perished, a changeover that hasn’t moved in months. We keep a simple record for your set so the right work happens at the right time, and you’re never the one discovering a fault in the dark.
Thinking bigger picture? Many Bedfordview homes pair a generator with solar and battery storage for silent, automatic backup — we advise on that too.

FAQs
Generator Repairs in Bedfordview — frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most in Bedfordview. Search or browse below.
What size generators do you work on?
We service and repair diesel standby sets rated 100 kVA and up — the sort you'd find behind a residential estate or complex in Senderwood as well as a commercial building near Bedford Centre. If you're not sure of your set's rating, tell us the make and model and we'll advise.
My generator won't start during load shedding — can you help?
Yes, that's one of our most common Bedfordview call-outs. A no-start can be fuel, battery, starter, control board or a seized changeover. We diagnose the actual cause rather than guessing, get you back on backup power, and put right whatever caused it.
Do you repair the changeover switch or ATS as well?
We do. The automatic transfer switch is where a lot of backup systems fail — the generator runs fine but power never transfers across, or it won't switch back to mains. Because we're both electrically and mechanically qualified, we handle the engine, the alternator and the changeover wiring in one visit.
How often should a standby generator be serviced?
As a rule of thumb, service annually or by running hours, whichever comes first — and more often if it's carrying you through heavy load shedding. A neglected set almost always fails at the worst moment. A regular service schedule keeps oil, filters, fuel and the battery in good order so it starts when you need it.
What size and type of generators do you service?
Diesel generator sets rated 100 kVA and up — the standby and prime-power sets used by offices, complexes, retail centres, factories and institutions. We do not work on small portable or petrol generators. We cover the engine side (oil, filters, fuel system, cooling, starting) and the electrical side (alternator, controls, changeover and output wiring) together, which is where being qualified in both really pays off.
Can you set up a maintenance plan for my office?
We can. Boutique offices and medical suites around Van Buuren Road and Bedford Centre rely on their backup power, so a scheduled maintenance plan makes sense — regular servicing, load testing and priority breakdown response so an outage never catches you out.
Do you also install new generators and backup power?
Yes. Alongside repairs and servicing we install generators, inverters and changeover systems, and integrate them safely with your DB board to SANS 10142. See our generators and backup power page for the full picture.
