Start With the Right Generator for Your Property

Whole-House Generator Sales and Installation

We review the home before recommending a generator. Electrical demand, fuel availability, generator placement, service access, and the equipment you want available during an outage all affect the final system size. Some homeowners want to support only selected circuits, while others need broader coverage for heating, cooling, refrigeration, pumps, lighting, or medical equipment. National Standby Repair sells and installs residential generators from several major manufacturers and can recommend equipment based on the property.

Commercial Generator Installation

Commercial systems often need to support larger loads and more complex transfer equipment. We install standby generators for medical offices, apartment buildings, schools, restaurants, municipal properties, offices, and other commercial sites in New Rochelle. Our team reviews the electrical demand, available fuel, equipment location, and operating requirements before recommending a system. We can also coordinate with qualified electricians, plumbers, or gas contractors where their work is part of the installation.

Equipment From Major Generator Manufacturers

National Standby Repair sells and installs systems from Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Onan, Briggs & Stratton, WINCO, and other established manufacturers. We do not base recommendations on brand alone. Fuel type, expected load, available space, long-term service access, and system controls can all influence which generator makes sense for the property.

Repair Problems Early

Residential and Commercial Generator Repair

A missed exercise cycle, fault code, no-start condition, weak output, or unexpected shutdown can point to several different causes. Our technicians diagnose problems involving batteries, fuel delivery, sensors, control boards, alternators, starters, and automatic transfer switches. We work on both residential and commercial equipment, including older systems that may need more detailed troubleshooting. National Standby Repair also provides qualified warranty repair service for several leading manufacturers.

Generator Maintenance and Annual Service

Routine maintenance gives our technicians a chance to review the system before the next outage. Service may include oil and filter changes, battery testing, fluid checks, transfer switch review, exercise-cycle testing, and inspection of wiring and controls. Customers who want ongoing maintenance can ask about an annual service contract, which provides a regular service schedule and priority support.

24/7 Emergency Generator Repair

National Standby Repair provides emergency generator service around the clock throughout our service area. We respond when a system will not start, loses output, overheats, develops a fuel problem, or fails to transfer power during an outage. Our technicians work on home standby units as well as larger commercial systems used by medical facilities, apartment buildings, and other properties that depend on backup power.

Commercial Generator Testing

Load Bank Testing

Load bank testing puts the generator under controlled electrical demand so our technicians can see how the system performs under load. We can review voltage, frequency, engine response, cooling performance, oil pressure, fuel pressure, and control behavior during the test. This may reveal weak output or other problems that do not appear during a normal exercise cycle, especially on diesel generators that spend long periods at low load.

Fuel Testing for Diesel Generators

Stored diesel can collect water, sediment, sludge, bacteria, and other contamination as it ages. Those conditions may affect filters, injectors, and engine performance when the generator finally has to run for an extended period. National Standby Repair provides on-site fuel testing so we can assess the condition of the stored supply before recommending treatment.

Fuel Polishing, Scrubbing and Filtration

If testing shows that the fuel can be recovered, treatment may be a better option than draining the entire tank. National Standby Repair provides fuel filtration, scrubbing, and polishing services to remove contaminants from stored diesel. This can be especially useful for commercial facilities with larger fuel supplies where full replacement would be expensive and disruptive.

Commercial Generator Rentals

Temporary Power From 20 kW to 500 kW

National Standby Repair rents commercial generators from 20 kW to 500 kW for outages, construction work, planned shutdowns, utility delays, equipment replacement, and temporary facilities. Available equipment includes units from Cummins, CAT, and WhisperWatt. We work with contractors, property managers, municipalities, medical providers, and other organizations that need temporary power for short-term or extended use.

Rental Support During Longer Projects

The right rental depends on the amount of electrical load the site needs to carry. Our team can review the expected demand, recommend an appropriate unit, and help with delivery, placement, setup, and installation. We can also provide maintenance and service while the generator remains on site during longer rentals.

Generator Service for Different Types of Properties

Homes in New Rochelle

Homeowners can call National Standby Repair for maintenance, repairs, battery replacement, transfer switch service, and troubleshooting on existing systems. We also work on generators installed by other contractors. If an older unit still has useful life left, our technicians can recommend service or repair based on its condition instead of assuming replacement is the only option.

Medical and Multifamily Properties

Medical offices, assisted living facilities, apartment buildings, and other multifamily properties often rely on backup power for several building systems at once. Generators may support pumps, elevators, HVAC equipment, refrigeration, security systems, or communications equipment during an outage. Our technicians can help with installation, repairs, maintenance, testing, and emergency service for these larger systems.

Offices, Restaurants and Other Commercial Sites

National Standby Repair also works with offices, restaurants, dealerships, warehouses, schools, municipal buildings, veterinary facilities, event venues, and other commercial properties. We service both permanent standby systems and temporary rental equipment, and our technicians work across a wide range of generator sizes and fuel types.

Generator Brands Our Technicians Service

Generac and Kohler

We sell, install, repair, and maintain Generac and Kohler generators for residential and commercial customers. National Standby Repair also provides qualified warranty repair service for both brands. Our technicians can help with startup problems, fault codes, battery failures, transfer switch issues, scheduled maintenance, and new equipment selection.

Cummins, Onan, Briggs & Stratton, WINCO and More

Our service experience extends well beyond Generac and Kohler. We also work on Cummins, Onan, Briggs & Stratton, WINCO, ASCO, Avtron, Caterpillar, Kubota, Volvo Penta, and many other manufacturers. This broader repair capability is useful for older buildings and commercial properties where the existing generator may no longer match the equipment sold by the original installer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Repair a Generator That Was Installed by Another Company?

Yes. National Standby Repair services generators installed by other contractors, including older residential and commercial systems. Our technicians can inspect the equipment, diagnose faults, perform maintenance, and recommend repairs based on the condition of the unit.

What Generator Brands Do You Service in New Rochelle?

We service Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Onan, Briggs & Stratton, WINCO, ASCO, Avtron, Caterpillar, Kubota, Volvo Penta, and many other manufacturers. Our technicians work on generators across a broad range of sizes, ages, and fuel types.

How Do You Size a Whole-House Generator?

We review the electrical equipment you want to operate during an outage, along with starting loads, fuel availability, service equipment, and property layout. That information gives us a better basis for recommending a generator than a generic estimate.

How Often Should a Standby Generator Be Maintained?

Most standby generators should receive professional maintenance at least once per year, although the right schedule depends on the manufacturer, system age, fuel type, and how often the generator runs. Equipment that operates for long periods during an outage may need service sooner.

What Is the Difference Between Fuel Testing and Fuel Polishing?

Fuel testing evaluates the condition of stored diesel and can identify water, sediment, sludge, microbial growth, and other contamination. Fuel polishing treats the existing supply by filtering and cleaning it when the fuel can still be recovered.

Do You Offer 24/7 Emergency Generator Service?

Yes. National Standby Repair provides 24/7 emergency generator service throughout our service area. We respond to startup failures, shutdowns, transfer switch faults, fuel problems, overheating, and other issues that prevent a standby system from operating properly.
