Reliable Generator Maintenance Service
Generators sit unused for long stretches, which means problems can go unnoticed until it’s too late. That’s why regular checkups matter. Our home generator maintenance services keep everything in good working order so your system is ready when you need it most. We inspect and test every part that helps your generator start up and run smoothly.
When a generator sits idle for months, fuel can degrade, moisture can build up, and internal components can begin to corrode. Gaskets may dry out, and small pests can even find their way inside. Just because a generator hasn’t run recently doesn’t mean it’s fine. It might actually be more at risk than one that runs frequently.
What Does Generator Service Include?
During a typical visit, we check the battery, oil level, air filters, and coolant. Batteries are one of the most common failure points. They lose charge over time, especially in extreme temperatures. Corrosion at the terminals or a weak charge can prevent the generator from starting at all. We test voltage, clean connections, and replace the batteries if needed.
We also check oil levels and quality, replace oil and filters when needed, and look for signs of contamination. This guards against old oil that might break down and lose its ability to protect the engine. We also check and service fuel systems, spark plugs, transfer switches, wiring, and exhaust systems.
During an inspection, we look for signs of wear, leaks, or corrosion. If any parts need to be cleaned or replaced, we take care of them on the spot. We also run the unit under load to make sure it can handle the power your home needs.
If you hear odd noises, smell fuel, or see warning lights, it’s time to call us. But even if everything seems fine, yearly maintenance gives you peace of mind. It’s easier and cheaper to catch small issues early than to deal with a full breakdown during a severe storm.
