Generator systems need different types of support depending on where you are in the process. Some properties need a new system put in place. Others already have equipment that needs to be serviced, repaired, or maintained over time.
For over 35 years, Perkins Generator Store has offered the most complete range of generator services for homeowners across Metro Atlanta, and we continue to do so today. Contact us for a free estimate for any of the services listed below.
Generator Installation
When a property does not yet have a standby generator, installation is the starting point. This involves selecting a system that fits the electrical demand and putting it in place so it can operate during an outage.
Installation is typically the right step when:
- There is no existing backup power system
- The current system is outdated or no longer in use
- The property requires more consistent power coverage
Generator Repair
Generators can develop issues over time, especially if they have not been used or serviced regularly. When a system does not start, runs inconsistently, or fails during operation, it needs to be evaluated and corrected.
Generator repair is typically needed when:
- The generator does not turn on during an outage
- The system runs but does not supply consistent power
- Warning lights or alerts are present
Generator Maintenance
Ongoing maintenance helps keep a generator ready between outages. Systems that sit idle for long periods still require regular checks to ensure they will operate when needed.
Maintenance is typically scheduled to:
- Keep the system in working condition
- Identify wear before it leads to failure
- Support long-term reliability
Backup Power Systems
Backup power refers to how a property continues operating when utility power is interrupted. For most homes and businesses, this is handled through a standby generator system that activates during an outage.
Learn more about how backup power systems are used and what they support.
Generator Parts and Support
Some situations require specific components, replacements, or manufacturer-supported parts. Access to the right generator parts helps keep systems compatible and operating as expected.
This includes:
- Replacement components
- Manufacturer-supported parts
- System-specific equipment

Frequently asked questions about generators
Find answers to common questions about generator sales, installation, maintenance, and monitoring to help you make informed decisions.
Metro Atlanta can experience power outages from severe thunderstorms, fallen trees and limbs, hurricane remnants, winter weather, and other grid disruptions. Standby generators provide automatic backup power when utility service is interrupted, which can help homes and businesses maintain selected circuits or broader electrical loads depending on how the system is designed.
Standby generator maintenance can include inspecting the generator, checking engine oil and other fluids, evaluating the battery and charging system, inspecting filters and electrical connections, checking for leaks or visible wear, reviewing fault information, and testing generator operation. The exact maintenance procedure depends on the generator model and manufacturer’s service requirements.
Generator maintenance frequency depends on the generator model, operating hours, usage, environment, and manufacturer requirements. Standby generators should be maintained on the schedule specified for their equipment rather than relying on one interval for every system. Generators that operate for extended periods during outages may also require service based on runtime.
Standby generators can remain idle for long periods between outages. Maintenance gives a technician an opportunity to identify battery, fluid, filter, fuel, electrical, control, or mechanical issues before the generator is required to carry a load during a power failure. It cannot prevent every breakdown, but it can identify some developing problems earlier.
Yes. A standby generator can still require maintenance even when it has not experienced a long outage. Batteries can weaken, fluids and filters require attention, connections and components can deteriorate, and exercise-cycle faults can develop while the generator spends most of its time on standby. Maintenance requirements should follow the specific equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
Yes. Perkins Generator Store supports Cummins generator systems along with Generac and Kohler equipment. Service needs can vary by generator model, age, and the specific problem, so having the model and serial information available when scheduling service can help identify the system and any parts or maintenance requirements that may apply.

Great job by Perkins! From the call to the service everything was perfect.
Jim Fricke
Perkins and Chad, the sales consultant who came to our property, could not have been any more pleasant, easy, clear, transparent, and logical then they were. We were looking to replace our at home standby generator that had reached its age limit and Chad made it so simple. We had a goal and we had looked into it in depth in advance and Chad “hopped in” exactly where we were without missing a beat. I can’t say enough good things about Perkins, their people, and their service.
