What is a Generator?
Keep the Power on
A power generator provides a backup source of electricity in case a power outage happens. A generator will keep your power going by converting supply fuel (gasoline, diesel, or natural gas) to mechanical energy and converting that into electrical power. Having a standby generator will ensure that your business or organization never has to experience downtime because of a power outage.
If your area’s electrical supply fails, the generator will provide an often smooth transition to backup power.
Power generators have been known to be very useful in businesses in many ways.
- Generators ensure continued productivity in the event of a power outage, keeping necessary equipment in operation.
- Generators ensure the safety and comfort of your employees during the event of a snowstorm, ice storm, or heat wave.
- Generators help protect computer data and allow security systems to continue to function.
- Generators provide an uninterrupted supply of power, during brownouts and outages, keeping all devices running like normal.

Let Go of the Worry
Get Prepared!
There are a number of things that could cause you to lose your power in the Ottawa area. Whether it’s due to severe weather or power grid failure, losing power to your home can be stressful, inconvenient, and in some cases, even dangerous.
When things go dark without backup power, you run the risk of:
- Losing food in your refrigerator or freezer
- Being unable to charge cell phones and laptops
- Exposure to extreme heat or cold
- Losing Internet connectivity for work or school
However, with the help of our APEX professionals, the worry of being without power after a horrible storm will be gone. Along with being stress-free, you will be introduced to many other benefits after your generator is installed.
Better Security – Unfortunately, a power outage is sometimes a sign to suspicious people that it is okay to break in. With a home generator installation, you can keep your security system and exterior lights on.
Food Safety and Cooking – Without power, you can’t keep your food refrigerated or frozen, which means that your food can quickly become unsafe to eat. It will also be nearly impossible to cook without power but with a generator, your power is guaranteed to stay on.
Keep the Water Running – You may lose access to your water if you use a well, pump, or filtration system. With a backup generator, your appliances can stay on!
Why Do I Need A Professional to Service My Generator?
Let Us Fix Your Problem
Just like any other engine, generators need periodic maintenance and service. Unfortunately, you will never get a warning if your generator goes out but you can know what signs to look for when it needs maintenance.
Low Coolant – External and internal coolant leaks, clogged radiators, and more can cause a power generator to run hot or worse, shut down.
Breaker Trip – If no one has accidentally pushed the emergency shut-off, the automatic transfer switch may be off, but the problem will need to be fixed by a professional.
Battery Failure – Having a failed battery is the single most common reason for a generator to go out. Battery failure may be the result of sulfate buildup on the battery terminals, shorts, open cells, a tripped charger breaker, charger failure, and loose or dirty connections.
Faulty Block Heater – Because they run so frequently, block heaters often become faulty, resulting in a low coolant temp.
Wet Stacking – Excessive no-load run time can result in an over-fueled engine that becomes damaged due to the accumulation of carbon particles, unburned fuel, oil, condensed water, and acids inside the exhaust.
Controls Not in “Auto” – This means the power generator wasn’t shut off and is possible not serving as the main control switch. This can be due to human error, open breakers, alarms, or switchgear not properly reset.
Air in the Fuel System – Injectors can be prevented from firing because of air in the fuel lines. However, with weekly inspections, this issue can be prevented.
Out of Fuel – Generators will automatically shut down when fuel gets too low to stop the fuel system from drawing in air.
