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- The current system is outdated or no longer in use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.
It depends on whether a system is already in place and how it is performing. Properties without a generator typically start with installation. Systems that are already installed may need repair if they are not operating, or maintenance if they are still running but have not been serviced recently. The condition of the system, not the outage itself, usually determines the next step.
It happens more often than people expect, especially with systems that have not been run or checked in a while. Generators spend most of their time idle, so problems tend to show up when the system is suddenly needed. That is why ongoing upkeep plays a large role in whether a system performs reliably during an outage.
A well-maintained standby generator can operate for many years, often over a decade, depending on usage and environment. Systems that are exposed to heavy use or inconsistent upkeep may require attention sooner, while regularly maintained units tend to remain reliable over longer periods.
Most issues develop gradually rather than appearing all at once. Wear, fuel-related problems, or electrical components can decline over time without obvious signs. Many property owners only become aware of an issue when the system is called on during an outage.
The region’s combination of storm activity, tree coverage, and grid demand increases the likelihood of outages. Because interruptions can vary in length and severity, many homes and businesses rely on standby systems that can restore power quickly and operate without manual setup.

My wife and I purchase our whole-house generator from Perkins about 8 years ago, at the same time we purchased our new house. Since then, without exception, the service we have received has been excellent.—-Updated 7/23/26: Another service visit today. As always has been the case, the technician was on time, very engaging and polite, and completed the work without any issues.
