Brian, has been nothing but Helpful to my ALF Business and I. As a starting Business, there were so many things that I didn’t know about my Fixed Generator. But Brian did a great job at giving step by step instructions on how to properly power it on. He gave Grade A Service. I would definitely recommend Portable Generator Services to anyone.

Brian did an excellent job repairing our generator. He also informed us on how to maintain it after hurricane season. We strongly recommend him

What an amazing company! Brian and his team were fantastic. They were able to fix two of our generators and get the bigger one connected to our house. He answered all of my questions and walked me through all the steps to connect, start, and run it a couple times. Then he emailed us directions again so we wouldn’t forget how to use it when we need in the future. He went above and beyond for us and is even coming back out to convert our generator to run off of our natural gas. I highly recommend this company!

Portable Generator Services | Sep 3, 2022

How did you learn this trade

Portable Generator Services | Sep 3, 2022
Portable Generator Services | Sep 3, 2022

random luck, worked for a generator company doing only the electrical side of things, and they cross trained me on the service and maintenance of stand-by generator systems

How does converting your generator from gasoline to propane work exactly?

Portable Generator Services | Sep 3, 2022
Portable Generator Services | Sep 3, 2022

There is a website/company called century fuel products who has special kits for your generator brand, I install it which is an adapter that goes right behind the air filter box, the adapter has a threaded hole that has a barbed fuel fitting attached, that's why you connect the lp hose which is fed from your propane tank. I also have to mount the regulator which is simple and is two bolts. Call or email me for any questions

After looking through your page am I correct to say that the minimum price is basically 250 to fix my generator but that also includes a complete service which is you changing the oil, spark plug, air filters, rebuilding the Carburetor.

Portable Generator Services | Jun 5, 2022
Portable Generator Services | May 6, 2022

Yes. It’s 250 for me to fix your generator. And that includes the complete service also.

Do you have any lists or posts mentioning a Hurricane Protection Plan that discusses what to do with my generator and how to be as prepared as possible?

Make sure you have fuel with stabil added. Make sure the generator is functioning and producing power. Do a test to make sure you are hooking up correctly and everything is working how you want.

We love how dedicated you are to the customers and generators. How did you get involved originally?

Pure luck. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. My mom was like your doing something. She found info about trade schools and told me to pick one (hvac, electric, plumbing, welding). I loved electrical and so I chose that. Originally was going to be a residential electrician and luckily got the opportunity to work on generators and fell in love and excelled.

How long have you been working on generators.

Portable Generator Services | May 6, 2022
Portable Generator Services | May 6, 2022

I completed and graduated top of class in the 4 year electrical apprenticeship program. And have worked hands on with generators for 6 years. I gained valuable experience in all aspects of the industry which many businesses lack. I have experience installing generators, maintaining Portable Generators, troubleshooting. I have experience in residential, commercial and currently work for an industrial dealer.

Starting your generator monthly - Why a lot of customers STILL have an issue the following month.

Portable Generator Services | Apr 6, 2022
Portable Generator Services | Apr 6, 2022

The reason for needing to start your generator monthly are not what most customers assume. It is not to keep the battery charged (Portable generators do not have a DC alternator to even charge the battery) - only way to keep your battery charged is with a battery charger / tender installed and used when the generator is not being used. The reason for starting your generator monthly is because gasoline starts to break down, and it creates a very thick / tar-like substance called VARNISH. That varnish will clog the carbuerators main jet / fuel solonoid, and even fuel lines. The misconception in this whole topic is, starting it monthly wont even help you because Example: Generator has 10 month old gas, you start it monthly. The gas is still old and continously breaking down. So at some point even when starting it monthly, the varnish will coat and clog the small main jet on ur carbuerator.

My generator was just working last month... now when I press the start button, it makes a "click" noise and does nothing... what is going on...

Unfortunatly what your dealing with is 9 out of 10 times a dead battery. The first question I always ask my customers that are dealing with this situation is, How old is your battery, some may say 2 years, some may say 1 year, some even say they just replaced it 5 months ago.... I then ask, Do you have a battery charger / tender hooked up to it when it is not being used? 9 out of 10 times they say "I was never told I needed that". If your generator has a battery. No matter what you need to use a battery charger / tender at all times while the generator is being stored , not being used. If you dont, your battery will always die extremely fast... Cars have a DC Alternator that charges the battery when it is driving, that is why they dont need a battery charger / tender... the only case a car would need one is if the car does not get driving weekly or monthly. Your generators battery should be lasting just as long as a typical car / truck battery.... which is around 3-5 years...

Why does it seem like your the only people who will work on my portable generator besides a lawn mower shop... which they want me to bring my portable generator to them and its too heavy, i am retired and 75 years old...

We hear this a lot, no regular companies will service portable generators because they say that its not worth the time, and don't make enough profit to do it. Lawn mower shops also suck , like you said they either charge you 100$ or more pick up fee, 1 way, then make you wait 2-3 weeks for them to fix it, and they charge even more.... Don't worry, you can depend on us; we didn't get ALL 5 star reviews for nothing, WE DO 5 STAR WORK.

I see your located in Deerfield Beach area. How far are you willing and able to drive? Can you tell me your coverage areas please? I saw your stated you cover Jacksonville, FL and also South Florida area?

Portable Generator Services | Mar 7, 2022
Portable Generator Services | May 6, 2022

That is correct, our address is not a store, its strictly to be able to create this page which allows you access to get the help and service needed. We are strictly mobile, we drive to your location so that you do not need to transport your generator. We have expanded recently and cover from Miami all the way up to Jacksonville. We also cover from Naples all the way up the coast to Tampa area. Just give us a call.

How often should I be getting my portable generator serviced so that it will be reliable especially during hurricane season?

Portable Generator Services | Mar 7, 2022
Portable Generator Services | Mar 7, 2022

Owning a portable generator is for the most part a LUXURY, if you could buy a generator and never have to do any maintenance on it, we wouldn't be here right now looking at this question. Portable generators to stay reliable especially during our florida hurricane seasons, every year they should be checked fully. So besides buying the portable generator, calculate 250$ every year for proper maintenance.

Why do you only work on portable generators sized 19 KW and smaller? My company needs the generator serviced, and you are the highest rated... We would love for you to do the work.

Portable Generator Services | Mar 7, 2022
Portable Generator Services | Mar 7, 2022

We only work on portable generators smaller than 19KW because 1. We do this part time during hurricane season, we do not have time to set up contracts (Nor do we want to) Contact your local generator dealer please. 2. We have family that are dependent on electricity at all times, and with that being said, we know that many other families are in the same situation. So during hurricane season we like to be available to help our local communities be prepared in case we get hit by a hurricane. 3. Working on anything larger will put us very close to being in competition with our main full time job, and we respect the rules of not being in competition. They do 20KW+, we do 19KW and lower. Thanks for your understanding.

What if you cant fix the generator and you will need to order a part how would we go about payment and what not, is it going to be more expensive?

Portable Generator Services | Mar 7, 2022
Portable Generator Services | Mar 7, 2022

Sometimes we need to order something that isn't extremely common, depending on how far you are, we usually don't charge more, we would complete the full service (Oil, filters, carb clean, all of that) and charge u 125 for that, then we will order your part and u will pay the other 125$ which will add up to 250 and we will provide u the receipt / price of the part which u will pay us for.
