Generator Repairs in Northern VA

Automatic standby generators restore your home’s power supply within minutes of disruption.

Don’t Risk a Flooded Basement 

Generators and sump pumps are two of the most helpful devices you can have during a storm. If you depend on a sump pump to keep your basement from flooding, unexpected power failures could leave you vulnerable to major property damage. Parrish Services prevents property loss and replacement costs by linking sump pump systems to a dedicated battery backup—or connecting them to standby generators.

Is Your Generator Is Ready for Action?

Professional generator maintenance helps ensure Generac standby generators and other backup power sources perform reliably at a moment’s notice. Between annual maintenance appointments with our certified technicians, Parrish Services also recommends reviewing and adhering to manufacturer maintenance and warranty instructions laid out in your owner’s manual.

When Parrish technicians arrive for your annual generator checkup, they will perform a checklist of tasks tailored to the make, model and age of your device. Steps may include:

• Clearing debris from inside & outside casing, intake louvers & exhaust vents.
• Checking control panel fuses.
• Cleaning battery terminals, verifying battery strength & testing electrical connections.
• Checking fuel system assembly, gas pressure & connections.
• Changing oil, spark plugs & air filters.
• Testing transfer switch. (While your generator probably self-tests on a weekly basis, transfer switch testing is conducted during annual maintenance.)
• Checking all wiring for corrosion & pest damage.
• Verifying generator’s power capacity output.
