Birnie FAQ: Generators in the Cold Months 🍂⚡
How often should a generator be maintained?
At least once a year, and fall is the best time. A generator that sat all summer isn't guaranteed to start when the power goes out.
What's the most common problem?
A dead or weak battery, often after months of sitting unused. A fall tune-up catches it early with a battery test, fuel system check, oil and filter change, and a full test run.
What are the signs of a failing generator?
Trouble starting, rough running, and warning lights are all reasons to get it checked before an outage.
Book your fall generator check before the first ice storm hits.
