A standby generator is only reliable if it’s properly maintained. The last thing you want is to discover it won’t start during a storm. Here’s a simple maintenance checklist every homeowner should follow:
Generator Maintenance Checklist:
- Run a Test Cycle Monthly: Most modern generators have an auto test feature to ensure they are ready.
- Check Oil and Coolant Levels: Just like a car engine, generators need clean fluids.
- Inspect the Battery: Replace weak batteries before they fail.
- Examine Air Filters and Spark Plugs: Clean or replace as recommended.
- Keep the Area Clear: Remove leaves, snow, and debris around the unit.
- Schedule Professional Maintenance: At least once a year, have a licensed technician inspect the generator and perform a full professional maintenance.
