Without proper maintenance, your backup generator may not be as helpful as you think.
One day you decided you were tired of blackouts. One day you decided enough was enough. One day you decided to invest in a Backup Generator. These generators automatically kick in when your power goes out, delivering power directly to your home’s electrical system and backing up your entire home or at least the most essential items – refrigerator, sump pump, lights, air conditioning, heat, etc. Your backup generator is there when you need it most. But what if it isn’t?
Without proper maintenance, your generator may not be as helpful as you think. Once a generator is installed, it requires regular maintenance, similar to a car. Your generator needs the oil changed, the battery replaced, and other items every so often (see our maintenance checklist for a full list of items). Without such maintenance you are at a high risk for your generator to malfunction when you need it most.
Backup Generator Maintenance Tips
A generator is luxurious and convenient – you’ll be glad you have it when the time comes, but in order for it to perform its only function – maintenance is important.
We can’t predict power outages. We can’t predict when you will need your backup generator. What we can control is generator maintenance. With the proper care, we can ensure your generator is ready for whatever Mother Nature throws your way.
