Professional Fayetteville Generator Maintenance
Even though you may not use them frequently, emergency generators need periodic maintenance to keep them in top-notch condition. No matter how much or little you use your generator, it requires maintenance to remain a reliable power source.
We recommend an annual professional generator maintenance visit. However, if you use your generator frequently, you may need an inspection every six months to ensure reliable operation. In addition to annual professional inspections, you should conduct a weekly visual inspection for leaks, grime, worn parts, and fluid levels. If you notice anything amiss, call us for immediate service. You should also run the generator for at least 10 minutes once a month to lubricate parts and verify its functionality.
When you schedule generator maintenance, you can expect our electricians to perform the following tasks.
- Visual inspection
- Test electrical and fuel systems
- Check the battery
- Look for leaks
- Change filters
- Tighten connections
- Check transfer switch
One of the most important steps our electricians perform is a full-load test on your generator. This involves running your generator at 100% of its capacity to ensure its reliability. Annual professional checks are essential because an experienced electrician can spot small issues and repair them before they turn into expensive problems.
Home generators typically last between 10 and 30 years. Portable units often reach up to 15 years, while permanent models can operate for as long as 30 years. A generator’s lifespan depends on its quality, the model you choose, how often you use it, and how well you maintain it. As your generator gets older, regular maintenance becomes even more essential to keep it running safely and reliably.
