When your power is out, trust our licensed, factory trained experts for fast, reliable generator repair 24/7. Over 40 years serving the Capital Region with everything in house and no subcontractors ever.

Why Timely Generator Repair Matters

When your backup power system fails during an outage, every minute counts. Your family’s safety, comfort, and security depend on a generator that works when you need it most. Food spoils, sump pumps fail, HVAC systems shut down, and medical equipment goes offline.

At Ambrose Electric, we understand the urgency. That’s why we’ve built our entire business around one thing: generators. With over 40 years in the Capital Region, we maintain a fully stocked parts warehouse and specialized service fleet so we can respond quickly and get your system back online fast.

But you don’t need to wait for an emergency. If your generator is making unusual noises, struggling to start, or showing warning lights, we can diagnose and repair issues before they leave you without power during the next outage. Proactive repairs save money and prevent the stress of emergency breakdowns.

Our factory trained technicians have the expertise to diagnose and repair issues correctly the first time, ensuring the safety and comfort of your family during critical outages—and preventing those outages from happening in the first place.
