Generator Maintenance: Caring for Your Generator

Finally, you have the right generator for your home! You’ve mastered how to stay ahead of power shortages and outages. But wait, there’s still more to look into. No cause for alarm though, it’s simple. After a generator installation, it’s tempting to simply sit back and have your generator do what it should when you need it. However, like a car engine, your generator needs a little attention to keep working optimally. Regular maintenance will help keep your system running. It also offers you an opportunity to identify potential issues early enough to prevent spending on expensive repairs. So, out of your busy schedule, you may have to include a generator preventive maintenance program. The maintenance plan is pretty simple; it includes:

• Checking the engine oil
• General visual inspection
• Exercising the generator at least every week
• Checking coolant levels at least every month
• And hiring an expert to perform a more thorough and detailed inspection and maintenance.
