Preventative Generator Maintenance Services

Our Standard Preventive Maintenance Service

A basic plan should cover all the bases, so you’re not paying more than you need. Here is what our standard preventive maintenance program includes:

Engine oil and filter change: We check and replace the oil and filters as needed to keep the system lubricated and protect your generator’s internal components.

Fuel, air and coolant system inspection: We examine fuel levels and quality, as well as the filter housing and other components.

Battery testing and charger verification: We check battery voltage and connections and test your charger’s voltage, connections and AC power source.

Belts, hoses and exhaust inspection: Runtime can cause stress on hoses, belts and exhaust systems, so we look for signs of wear and tear to address issues before the generator fails.

Electrical connections, torque and inspection: Loose connections can cause arcing, while over-tightened connections can damage conductors, so we work to reduce the risk of overheating and fire caused by faulty connections.

Control panel diagnostics and alarm review: We run the generator to test whether the controls, alarms and gauges are working correctly.

Cooling system inspection: We make sure your generator is less likely to overheat when you need it.

Visual inspection for leaks, corrosion or damage: With portable generators or critical system generators, especially, a leak can lead to tragedy.

Detailed service report with recommendations: We document everything for maintenance, insurance and warranty requirements and provide actionable recommendations for keeping your system in optimal condition.

How Often Should You Schedule Generator Preventive Maintenance Services?

The most significant advantage of preventive generator maintenance is that you can schedule service that keeps your generator running smoothly, catching any issues before there’s a serious problem. We offer different service intervals for your needs:

Semiannual: We can run a comprehensive inspection and conduct routine maintenance every six months.
Annual: Our annual plan may be right for diesel generators in non-critical operations.
Custom schedules for critical facilities: At hospitals and other critical facilities, generators may need more frequent testing to meet regulatory compliance requirements and ensure everyone’s safety.

If you’re not sure how often you need preventive maintenance, our experts can help you figure out a schedule. We can also adjust as your needs change.
