Keep your power reliable! Don’t ignore these red flags!

1. Shorter battery backup time
   If your inverter isn’t lasting as long as it used to during outages, it could be a sign of aging batteries, poor charging, or incorrect settings. Regular servicing can help restore performance and prevent unexpected blackouts.
2. Unusual sounds or overheating
   Strange buzzing, clicking, or humming noises – or if your unit feels unusually warm to the touch – could mean internal components are under stress or beginning to fail. This needs to be checked before it leads to a full breakdown.
3. Error messages on your display panel
   Flashing alerts, fault codes, or warning symbols on the screen are your system’s way of asking for help. Ignoring them could risk further damage and costly repairs. Let a professional take a look before it escalates.
4. Delayed switchover during load shedding
   If your power doesn’t switch over smoothly during outages, there may be an issue with the parameters of your inverter or the batteries. A technician can troubleshoot and make sure everything is responding as it should.
5. Visible signs of wear
   Loose or frayed cables, corrosion on terminals, burnt smells, or discolored parts are all red flags. These not only affect performance but can also pose a safety hazard if left unchecked.

If your inverter is showing any of these signs, don’t wait for a full power failure. Get it checked by the experts. Contact Alpha Power to book a professional service. We also offer tailored maintenance plans to keep your system running safely, efficiently, and ready when you need it most.
