"Bought a House with a Generator" Inspection Fishers, IN
Just closed on a home with a standby generator you've never run? We tell you whether it actually works: we inspect it, start it under load to confirm it transfers and powers the home, read the controller, set up monitoring, and put you on a plan, all as a factory-authorized dealer.
A generator that came with the house is a question mark until someone runs it under load, and the worst time to find out it doesn't work is during the next outage.
Sellers rarely have maintenance records, and a unit can look fine while sitting on a dead battery or a stored fault. We inspect inherited Generacs across Fishers and Noblesville: confirm it starts and transfers, read the Evolution controller, check the battery and oil, set up Mobile Link so you can see its status, and tell you honestly what shape it's in, and what, if anything, it needs before the next Central Indiana storm.
& why
Know what you actually inherited
An inherited generator usually comes with an unknown service history, no records, no idea when it last ran. A unit that looks fine in the side yard can be sitting on a dead battery or a stored fault that only shows under load. We inspect it, read the controller, test that it starts and transfers under load, and check the wear items.
You leave knowing its real condition, with Mobile Link monitoring set up and a maintenance plan if you want one, so there are no surprises during the next outage.
The new-owner inspection
A fixed-scope inspection that answers the one question that matters: will it run the house when the grid drops?
A run-under-load test is the only way to be sure. We perform it and read the controller for stored faults, so you know rather than hope.
Common, and exactly why the inspection exists. We establish the real condition from the unit itself instead of trusting paperwork that does not exist.
We show you what it needs and the fixed-bid cost, and if an aging unit is not worth more money we say so and show the math on replacing it.
Yes. The inspection rolls straight into warranty-compliant take-over service and a maintenance plan if you want it.
Every standby system is installed under the National Electrical Code as an optional standby system, with transfer equipment and overcurrent protection sized to spec and to permit.
