Standby generators can sit quietly for months, but that doesn't mean they're maintenance-free.
Our team recommends servicing home and light commercial generators after every 50 hours of runtime or at least once a year. Regular service can include checking the battery, oil, filters, coolant, and startup operation.
Before the next major storm, ask yourself:
✔️ Is the generator serviced?
✔️ Is the battery in good condition?
✔️ Are fluids and filters checked?
✔️ Is the unit ready to start?
Preparedness works best before the outage begins.
