Your home generator is leaking
Your home generator stores many fluids in order to operate at maximum capacity. As such, tanks or lines within a home generator can leak fluids such as coolant, fuel, and oil. If you notice a leak coming from your unit, its functionality is likely to quickly deteriorate and you should have an expert conduct a repair as soon as possible.
Diagnostic light is yellow or red
Many home generator units contain a system that will run a diagnostic of the unit, either manually triggered or automatically triggered. If your home generator has an issue in need of repair, the diagnostic light will blink yellow or sometimes red. A yellow or red colored light means it’s time to call the experts at Hero Home Services to have them come out to your Minneapolis, MN home and do a repair.
