When the generator has to start, we keep it starting
A generator earns its keep in the few seconds after the grid drops. In Boksburg that moment matters more than most — the cold-storage and distribution warehouses out in Jet Park cannot afford a thawed load, the shops around East Rand Mall lose trade with every dark hour, and a family in Sunward Park just wants the lights, the Wi-Fi and the fridge to carry on. When a set cranks but won’t fire, runs but won’t take the load, or simply sits silent while the power is out, you need it back quickly and properly.
That is our corner of the trade. Electromech repairs, services and maintains diesel and petrol generators with technicians qualified in both the electrical and the mechanical side — the two trades a generator actually needs. We’re a local East Rand team, so a call from Bartlett, Parkrand or Anderbolt reaches people who can be on site without a long trek.
What we put right
Generator repairs and servicing, end to end
One team for the engine, the alternator and the switchgear — on sets from 5 to 1500 kVA.
Changeover & ATS faults
If the set runs but the building stays dark, the changeover is usually the culprit. We repair manual and automatic transfer switches so power hands over safely and automatically.
Servicing & load testing
Oil, filters, belts, coolant and a proper load test, so the set is ready long before the next bout of load shedding — not caught out by it.
Control panels & alternators
Controller faults, no-output alternators, wiring and output problems on the electrical side — the part many generator mechanics can’t touch, and we can.
Maintenance plans
Scheduled servicing for retail, offices and warehouses, with optional diesel fill and a preventative programme that keeps standby power dependable.

A set that dies mid-outage is an emergency. Our standby team attends breakdowns and, where it helps, our emergency electricians in Boksburg back them up.
Two trades, one team
Why the electrical and mechanical mix matters
Most generator problems live on the boundary between the engine and the electrics, and that is exactly where single-trade repairs come unstuck. A mechanic gets the motor running but can’t chase a no-output alternator; an electrician sorts the changeover but won’t open the fuel system. Our technicians are qualified in both, so we follow the fault wherever it goes and hand back a set that starts, holds the load and switches over cleanly.
We source spares from the original manufacturer, do our installations to meet or exceed SANS regulations, and issue a Certificate of Compliance on the electrical side of the work.

FAQs
Generator Repairs in Boksburg — frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most in Boksburg. Search or browse below.
My generator won't start during load shedding — can you help?
Yes, that is one of our most common Boksburg call-outs. A no-start is usually fuel, battery, a fouled filter or a control-panel fault. We diagnose the real cause across both the mechanical and electrical side and get you running again rather than just replacing parts.
Do you service generators as well as repair them?
We do both. Regular servicing — oil and filters, fuel system, battery, belts, a load test and a check of the changeover — is what keeps a set reliable. Most breakdowns we see could have been caught on a routine service.
What size generators do you work on?
A wide range. We supply units from around 5 kVA up to 1500 kVA, and we service and maintain sets from 100 kVA and up as well as smaller standby units — from a home or small-office generator to industrial plant in Jet Park and Anderbolt.
Can you install or repair a changeover switch or ATS?
Yes. Whether you want a manual changeover or an automatic transfer switch that starts the set and switches over on its own when the grid drops, we install, repair and set them up correctly and safely to SANS 10142.
Why use an electrical contractor for generator work?
Because a generator is both an engine and a power source. Our technicians are qualified on the mechanical side and the electrical side, so the connection, changeover, earthing and compliance are handled properly — not left half-done between a mechanic and an electrician.
Do you offer maintenance plans for businesses?
Yes. For warehouses, retailers and offices around Boksburg that cannot afford downtime, scheduled preventative maintenance keeps standby power dependable and spreads the cost. We tailor the interval to how hard the set works.
Can you help if my generator runs but there's no power in the building?
Definitely. If the engine runs but nothing transfers, the fault is usually in the changeover, ATS, wiring or the DB side. That is squarely our territory — we trace it end to end and restore proper supply.
