The problem nobody talks about

A generator that hasn't been maintained is just an expensive guess

You spent thousands so your home would never go dark. But a standby generator is an engine — it needs oil, fresh fuel, a charged battery, and a real test under load. Skip that, and you only find out it failed when you need it most.

You don't know when service is due

Most homeowners can't say the last time their generator was serviced — or whether the installer ever came back. Time and weather quietly wear it down.

You're not sure it actually works

A weekly self-test hum doesn't prove it will carry your whole house in a real outage. Batteries die, fuel goes stale, and error codes go unread.

You don't know who to call

The company that installed it chases new sales. When yours needs attention, you're left Googling at the worst possible moment. We're who you call.

We don't sell generators.
We keep the one you already own running.

What we do

Everything your generator needs — nothing you don't

One focused team for the entire life of your standby generator. No upsells on equipment you didn't ask about.

Most popular

Generator Maintenance

Oil and filter changes, spark plugs, battery testing, fuel checks, and a full load test — so your generator is ready every season, not just on paper.

Generator Repair

Won't start? Throwing a fault code? Shutting down under load? We diagnose the real cause and fix it right — for every major brand.

Inspections & Health Checks

A clear, honest report on your generator's true condition — battery, fuel, connections, and run quality. Know exactly where you stand.

Emergency Service

A generator that fails during an outage is an emergency. We prioritize storm-season calls so your home doesn't sit in the dark waiting.

Annual Maintenance Plans

Set it and forget it. We track your service schedule, remind you, and show up on time — so your generator never falls behind again.

Battery & Fuel Care

The two things that fail most often. We test and replace batteries and keep your fuel system clean — the quiet culprits behind no-starts.

Peace of mind, on a schedule

Why homeowners choose us

Built for one thing: keeping your generator ready

Service is all we do

We're not chasing the next install. Maintenance, repair, and readiness are our entire business — so you get a team that actually answers when you call.

Local & responsive

We live and work in Northern Virginia. When a storm knocks out the grid, we're nearby — not a national call center routing you a week out.

Straight talk, fair pricing

You get a clear report and an honest recommendation — repair what needs it, leave alone what doesn't. No scare tactics, no mystery invoices.

Every major brand

Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Briggs & Stratton, Champion and more. Whoever installed it, we can keep it running.

We remember, so you don't

On a maintenance plan, we track your schedule and reach out when service is due. Readiness shouldn't depend on your memory.

Licensed, insured & accountable

Trained technicians, proper coverage, and work we stand behind. The people you let onto your property should earn that trust.

Who we are

A local company on a single mission

Capital Generator Solutions was started on one simple observation: everybody in this region wants to sell you a generator — almost nobody is focused on making sure the one you already own actually works.

So that's all we do. We serve homeowners across Northern Virginia who invested in backup power and deserve to know it's ready. We're small enough to answer the phone ourselves and serious enough to treat your home's reliability like it's our own.

When the next storm rolls through Great Falls, McLean, or Leesburg, our customers aren't wondering whether their generator will start. They already know.

Good questions

Generator maintenance, answered

How often does a standby generator need maintenance? +
Most manufacturers recommend professional service at least once a year, plus a check after heavy use during a long outage. Annual maintenance keeps your warranty intact and, more importantly, keeps the unit ready to run.
My generator runs a weekly self-test. Isn't that enough? +
Not quite. The weekly exercise cycle runs the engine briefly with no real electrical load. It won't catch a weak battery, stale fuel, a worn part, or whether the unit can actually carry your whole home. A real maintenance visit tests it under load — the way an outage would.
Do you service the brand I have? +
Almost certainly. We service all major residential standby brands including Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Briggs & Stratton, and Champion. If you're unsure, just tell us the brand and model when you call.
I didn't buy my generator from you. Can you still help? +
Yes — that's exactly who we're here for. It doesn't matter who installed it. If you own a standby generator in Northern Virginia, we can inspect, maintain, and repair it.
What happens during an inspection? +
We check the battery, fuel system, oil, filters, connections, and run quality, then test the unit under load. You get a clear written report on its condition and an honest recommendation — repair only what genuinely needs it.
My generator failed during a storm. How fast can you come? +
We prioritize emergency and storm-season calls. Call us right away — maintenance-plan customers get priority response, and we'll get to you as quickly as we safely can.
Do you sell or install new generators? +
Our focus is service — maintenance, repairs, inspections, and keeping your existing generator ready. If you eventually need installation help, we can point you in the right direction, but it's not what we're about.
