Keeping the lights on in the City of Lakes
Benoni has always done things at its own pace, but load shedding respects no one’s schedule. The established homes of Rynfield and Farrarmere lean on a standby set to keep an evening normal; the smallholdings out past Brentwood Park often need a bigger unit to hold a borehole pump and three-phase load; and the shops and offices around Northmead and Lakeside Mall lose money with every dark hour. A generator answers all of that — provided it starts, carries the load and switches over the moment the grid drops.
Electromech repairs, services and maintains diesel and petrol generators across Benoni, with technicians qualified in both the mechanical and electrical trades. We handle the engine, the alternator and the switchgear as one job, fit genuine manufacturer spares, and sign the electrical work off to SANS standards.
Repairs & servicing
What we sort on your Benoni generator
The whole machine — not just the easy half — on sets from 5 to 1500 kVA.
Changeover & ATS
The set runs but the house stays dark? We repair manual and automatic transfer switches for a safe, hands-off hand-over.
Servicing & load testing
Oil, filters, coolant, belts and a real load test on a schedule — the quiet work that prevents the loud failures.
Smallholding & three-phase
Larger sets tied to pumps and three-phase loads out towards Brentwood Park — repaired, serviced and safely integrated.
Maintenance plans
Service agreements for homes and Northmead businesses, with optional diesel fill and a preventative programme.

A dead set mid-outage needs a quick answer. Our standby crew attends, with our Benoni emergency electricians backing them up.
Both trades, one team
Why the engine and electrics belong together
Generator trouble usually sits on the border between the motor and the wiring, and that’s exactly where single-trade repairs come undone. A mechanic gets it turning but can’t chase a dead alternator; an electrician frees the changeover but won’t open the fuel system. Ours are qualified in both, so we diagnose the whole machine at once and hand back a set that starts, holds and switches over cleanly. Where the work touches your DB board or wider wiring, we handle that too and can issue a Certificate of Compliance.

FAQs
Generator repairs in Benoni — questions we hear often
Straight answers on generator repairs, servicing and changeover for Benoni homes, smallholdings and businesses.
What generators do you repair and service in Benoni?
Single and three-phase diesel and petrol sets from 5 kVA to 1500 kVA — from a home standby unit in Rynfield or Farrarmere to a larger set on a Brentwood Park smallholding or a Northmead business.
My generator cranks but won't start. What's wrong?
Usually batteries, fuel, filters, glow plugs, sensors or an AVR fault. We diagnose the actual cause rather than guessing, then repair it so the set starts reliably when the grid drops.
It runs but the house or shop stays dark — why?
That points to the changeover or the alternator rather than the engine. We repair manual and automatic transfer switches (ATS) and sort no-output alternator and controller faults.
Do you cover both the mechanical and the electrical side?
Yes. Our technicians are qualified in both, which is exactly what a generator needs — so the engine, the alternator and the switchgear are all handled by one team.
Can you service a generator on a Benoni smallholding?
Absolutely. Smallholdings around Brentwood Park often run larger sets, sometimes tied to borehole pumps and three-phase loads. We service and repair those, and can advise on safe integration.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
We do — scheduled servicing with a proper load test, optional diesel fill and a preventative programme, so your generator is ready before load shedding, not caught out by it.
No matching questions — try a different word, or just contact us.
