Do You Need a Standby Generator?
Standby generators provide backup power automatically in an outage. They provide peace of mind and can keep your home or business running during a power outage. Here are four signs that you may need a standby generator:
- You experience frequent power outages
- You rely on electricity for essential services like medical equipment or life support
- You work or run a business from home
- You don’t want to give up the comforts of modern living during a power outage
Signs Your Generator Needs Repairs
If you have a generator, it’s important to keep an eye out for signs that it might need repairs. By catching these signs early, you can avoid more serious and costly problems down the road. Keep an eye out for any of the following:

- Strange noises coming from your generator when it’s running
- Generator not producing as much power as it usually does
- Any leaks coming from the generator
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to call a professional generator repair service right away. By getting repairs done quickly, you can avoid more serious and costly problems down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size generator do I need for my home?
The right generator size depends on what you want to power during an outage. A 10-14 kW generator typically covers essential circuits — refrigerator, lights, sump pump, and a few outlets. A 16-22 kW whole-house generator can power your entire home including your HVAC system, which is critical during Louisiana’s extreme summer heat. Our team at Albritton Service performs a load calculation to determine exactly what your household needs so you don’t overspend or end up underpowered.
How often does a standby generator need maintenance?
Standby generators should be professionally serviced at least once a year, ideally before Louisiana storm season begins in June. Maintenance includes oil and filter changes, battery inspection, spark plug replacement, transfer switch testing, and a full load test. Between annual services, your generator runs a brief self-test cycle weekly. Albritton Service offers generator maintenance plans to keep your system ready year-round — so you’re never caught off guard when the power goes out.
