Own a Generac generator or considering one? Sparkie Electric provides Generac installation, maintenance, and repair services throughout Northwest Indiana. While we're authorized Briggs & Stratton dealers, we're fully trained and equipped to work on Generac generators—the most popular brand in America.
Generac Service & Repair
Generac generators are everywhere in Northwest Indiana. If you have one that needs service, we can help:
Common Generac Repairs
- Won't start—battery, starter, or control board issues
- Error codes—diagnostic and repair for all fault codes

Generac Maintenance
We offer annual maintenance for Generac generators, including oil changes, filter replacements, battery testing, and full operational checks. Regular maintenance is essential—Generac recommends service at least once per year.
Generac Installation
If you've decided on a Generac, we'll install it properly. While we typically recommend Briggs & Stratton to our customers, we understand that some homeowners prefer Generac—and we're happy to install the brand you want.
Our Generac installations include:
- Proper sizing consultation
- Site preparation and concrete pad
- Gas line installation
- Transfer switch installation
- Electrical connections
- System testing and commissioning
- Mobile Link setup (if equipped)
Why Some Customers Choose Generac
Generac pioneered the home standby generator market and remains the most recognized name in the industry. They offer:
-
Wide model range
—from small 10kW units to whole-house 26kW+ systems -
Mobile Link monitoring
—check your generator status from your phone -
Extensive dealer network
—parts availability is rarely an issue -
Brand recognition
—if you sell your home, buyers know the Generac name
Honest Advice on Generator Brands
We believe in giving customers honest information, even when it doesn't benefit us directly. Here's our take:
Generac pros: Wide availability, good monitoring features, strong resale recognition, extensive parts network.
Generac cons: Some models have had quality control issues in recent years, and service demand has outpaced dealer capacity in some areas.
Our recommendation: We typically suggest Briggs & Stratton for the value and reliability, but Generac makes good generators too. The most important factor is proper installation and regular maintenance—that matters more than the name on the unit.
