Why Routine Generator Maintenance Is Essential
A generator is useful only if it works when you need it. This is a machine people keep for emergencies, so it’s crucial that it works when the grid fails. However, a generator will break down if you don’t maintain it properly. Routine maintenance ensures that the generator’s components work optimally under the high-stress environment in which they operate.
The simple act of lubricating parts can make a massive difference. Another factor to consider is the price of repairing your generator when it breaks down. Since routine maintenance will make generator breakdowns less frequent, you save money in the long term. Maintaining your generator properly will also extend its useful life.

Our Generator Maintenance Checklist
We provide a comprehensive generator maintenance plan to keep your system running at peak efficiency. That plan includes things like oil and filter changes to keep your generator’s combustion chamber lubricated and clean. Keeping the oil inside your generator clean is critical to the longevity of its combustion chamber. We perform multiple types of inspections to ensure all your generator’s components can withstand the stress required to run continuously.
After changing your generator’s oil and filter, we focus on its battery and cooling system. Since a generator runs continuously for many hours, it must never get hot enough to blow a gasket or cause other problems.
We also check electrical components and the fuel system to keep your system working in demanding environments. Dirt and debris can build up, preventing fuel from reaching the combustion chamber. Electric components can also break, causing extra problems.
- Visual inspection
- Battery testing
- Fluid inspection
- Component wear inspection
- Engine oil and filter replacement
- Cooling system inspection
- Electrical testing
- Load testing
- Transfer switch testing
