New Orleans Generator Services — Stay Powered No Matter What

Louisiana weather does not ask permission before it takes your power out. Between hurricane season, summer storms, and the everyday outages that hit Harvey, Metairie, Kenner, Chalmette, the Westbank, and the rest of the New Orleans metro, a generator has stopped being a luxury item for most homeowners here. It is how your home keeps running when the grid does not. Rob’s Air has been part of this community for 35+ years, and our licensed technicians install, repair, and maintain the generators that keep New Orleans homeowners comfortable, safe, and connected during outages of any length. Call (504) 348-7128 to talk with our team about the right generator setup for your home, or Book Now and we will get you on the schedule.

Reliable Generator Services for New Orleans Homes & Businesses

Homeowners across the metro area trust Rob’s Air for the same reason they trust us with their AC and heating systems: we show up, we do the work right, and we treat every home like it is our own. Our generator team brings that same standard to backup power planning. Whether you are protecting a family home in Metairie or making sure a small business in Chalmette can stay open through an outage, we size, install, and service generator systems built for New Orleans’ climate and New Orleans’ storms. Same-day service is available for most generator repair calls, so a dead unit does not have to mean days without power while you wait on a technician.

Generator Installation

Our technicians evaluate your home’s electrical load, layout, and fuel access to recommend the right generator size and placement, then handle the installation from permitting through final startup and testing.

Generator Repair

If your generator will not start, will not transfer power during an outage, or is throwing an error code, our technicians diagnose the problem and get it running again. Same-day service is available for most repair calls, because a generator that does not work when you need it is not much of a generator.

Generator Maintenance

A generator that has not been serviced is a generator you cannot count on. Our maintenance visits cover the battery, fuel system, transfer switch, and running components so your unit is actually ready the moment the power goes out, not just sitting in the yard looking ready.

Whole-Home Generator Install

For homeowners who want every circuit covered, not just a few essential rooms, we install whole-home standby systems that keep your entire house running, including HVAC, refrigeration, and sump pumps, through an extended outage. These systems start automatically within seconds of an outage, so your home stays powered even if you are not there to flip a switch.

No two homes in the New Orleans metro need the same generator setup. A camelback in Uptown, a raised home on the Westbank, and a newer build in Kenner all draw power differently, and our technicians walk every property before recommending a system size or fuel type. We would rather spend an extra half hour on the front end than sell a homeowner a generator that cannot actually carry their home through a real outage.

Why Every New Orleans Home Should Have a Backup Generator

New Orleans homeowners do not need a weather report to know what hurricane season means here. Extended outages are not rare in this city, they are expected, and every homeowner in Harvey, Metairie, Kenner, Chalmette, and the Westbank has a story about the last one. A backup generator keeps your refrigerator running so food does not spoil, keeps your sump pump working so your home does not flood from the inside during heavy rain, and keeps your AC running so your family is not sitting in the heat waiting on the power company. For homes with medical equipment, older residents, or young children, a generator is not about convenience. It is about safety, and it is about not having to leave your own home during a storm.

A generator also protects the investment you have already made in your house. Extended power loss can damage HVAC systems, refrigeration units, and electronics, and a home without power during a storm is harder to secure and monitor from a distance if you have evacuated. Rob’s Air installs and services generators sized to your actual home and your actual family, not a one-size-fits-all unit pulled off a shelf, so you are covered for what you really need when the lights go out. Power your peace of mind before the next storm season arrives. Homeowners who wait until a named storm is in the Gulf are often the ones stuck on a waitlist, and generator supply tightens fast once a season gets active. Planning ahead means your system is installed, tested, and ready long before you actually need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what size generator I need for my home?

It depends on your home’s square footage, what you want covered (just the essentials or the whole house), and your electrical panel. Our technicians walk your home and recommend a system sized to what you actually need, not a generic package.

How long does generator installation take?

Most installs take one to two days depending on the system and any electrical or gas line work involved. We will walk you through the timeline before we start any work.

Do you service generators you did not install?

Yes. Our technicians repair and maintain generators from most major manufacturers, whether we installed the unit or not.

How often should my generator be maintained?

Most manufacturers recommend an annual maintenance visit, and we recommend scheduling yours before hurricane season starts so any issues get caught while there is still time to fix them.

What is the difference between a portable generator and a whole-home standby system?

A portable generator can run a few key items like a refrigerator or window unit. A whole-home standby system is permanently installed and automatically powers your entire house, including your HVAC system, the moment the power goes out.

Do you offer same-day generator repair?

Same-day service is available for most generator repair calls. Call (504) 348-7128 and we will do what we can to get a technician out quickly.
