What Issues Can Generator Maintenance Prevent?
Routine generator maintenance prevents any issue that could lead to system failure. For example, during a routine inspection, we might discover a corroded battery terminal, which could easily prevent your generator from starting during an outage.
Here are some other issues, ranging from mechanical to electrical, that a comprehensive maintenance program can prevent:
- Clogged fuel filters: This issue can restrict fuel flow, leading to decreased performance and potential engine damage.
- Overheating: Excessive heat can damage components, such as windings and insulation. Proper ventilation and maintenance can prevent this issue.
- Increased fuel consumption: Inefficient generators consume more fuel, leading to higher operating costs. Maintenance can improve fuel efficiency.
- Loose connections: Over time, connections can become loose or corroded, affecting your generator's electrical performance.

How Do You Check for Wear and Tear on Your Backup Generator System?
Your generator is comprised of many intricate components that require professional inspection to accurately identify wear and tear. For instance, during an inspection, we check for corrosion, cracks, or loose connections in your generator's housing and exhaust system.
We can also assess critical components, inspect the belts for signs of wear, such as fraying or cracking, and evaluate hoses for bulging or leaks. We look at the fuel system for clogs or contamination, assess the oil level and condition, and check the electrical connections for signs of damage.
What Maintenance Tasks Promote Longevity for a Standby Generator?
Regular oil changes are perhaps one of the most important maintenance tasks that can promote the longevity of your standby generator. Engine oil breaks down over time and can become contaminated with particles, reducing its ability to lubricate and protect engine components.
Another essential maintenance task is regular load testing. This involves running your generator at its full rated capacity for an extended period. This test allows us to locate underlying issues, such as if your generator's voltage regulator isn’t maintaining consistent output under load.
