Why Regular Generator Service Matters

Your whole home generator sits on standby for weeks or months at a time—but when it's needed, it must perform flawlessly. Without regular inspection and upkeep, small issues can compromise performance or prevent startup altogether during an outage.

Routine generator maintenance:

  • Ensures reliable startup in emergencies
  • Prolongs the life of your system
  • Keeps warranty coverage valid
  • Prevents costly breakdowns
  • Helps avoid carbon monoxide hazards or fuel issues

Whether your generator runs weekly self-tests or hasn't been touched since installation, now's the time to schedule expert service from a trusted local team.

Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed

We prioritize customer comfort, ensuring top-rated service with every job.

Fast, Reliable HVAC

We handle 90% of repair calls the same day, ensuring your HVAC system stays operational.

What Our Customers are Saying

We Specialize in Generac Generator Service in La Grange, KY

As one of the most trusted names in backup power, Generac generators are known for durability and performance—but only when they're serviced correctly. At Thompson Heating & Cooling, our technicians are trained to inspect, test, and service a wide range of Generac residential standby systems.

We handle:

  • Generac generator maintenance and tune-ups
  • Load bank testing and performance evaluation
  • Oil and filter changes
  • Fuel system and regulator inspections
  • Battery replacement and testing
  • Control panel diagnostics
  • Exercise cycle checks and reprogramming

Even if we didn't install your generator, we can keep it running safely and reliably.

Signs Your Whole Home Generator Needs Service

Don't wait for the next storm to find out your system isn't working. Contact us if you notice:

  • Warning lights or alarm codes on the control panel
  • Generator fails to start during test cycles
  • Unusual noises or excessive vibration
  • Fuel or oil leaks near the unit
  • Smoke, smells, or signs of overheating
  • Visible corrosion or wear on connections
  • It's been more than 12 months since your last service

Generators are designed to run for decades—but only if they're properly maintained.

What's Included in a Generator Tune-Up

We offer comprehensive generator service packages for homeowners across La Grange and surrounding areas. Our standard generator tune-up service includes:

  • Oil and filter replacement
  • Air filter check and cleaning
  • Battery inspection and load test
  • Spark plug inspection or replacement

We also offer custom maintenance schedules based on your generator model, fuel type, and usage patterns.

How Often Should You Service Your Generator?

For most residential systems—especially Generac models—we recommend a full tune-up once per year. Homes in rural areas or properties with frequent outages may need biannual service.

Best practices for generator maintenance:

  • Monthly visual inspections for debris or damage
  • Quarterly exercise cycle observation
  • Annual professional tune-up and load test
  • Battery replacement every 2–3 years

Our team can monitor service schedules for you with proactive reminders and convenient scheduling options.

Do You Need Generator Repair or Just Maintenance?

Sometimes, it's more than just a tune-up. If your unit is failing to start, not producing power, or displaying system errors, we offer full-service repair and diagnostics.

We can quickly identify issues related to:

  • Transfer switch malfunctions
  • Starter or motor failure
  • Fuel delivery problems
  • Control board or software errors
  • Over-cranking or overheating

We stock common Generac parts and can usually repair your system in a single visit. If replacement is needed, we'll provide a clear quote and walk you through your options.
