Why You Need Generator Maintenance

Completing maintenance on your generator at least once a year is vital to its efficiency, especially in the long run. While we perform bucket truck services in Montgomery County and other nearby areas, we also perform generator inspections. Perhaps you’ve forgotten about your generator the last few years. If that’s the case, now is the time to act. Here’s why you need to have your generator inspected.

Make Sure It Works

If you have a generator on your property, it’s probably not used very often and only in the case of an unexpected power outage. When the power unexpectedly goes out is when you need it the most, and therefore, the worst possible time to discover that there is an issue. If you schedule a generator inspection, you can make sure that your generator will operate correctly when the time comes.

Avoid Fuel Problems

Without regular maintenance, generators can become more susceptible to algae buildup, clogged fuel injectors or dead batteries. If issues like these go unnoticed, they can ruin your generator for good.

Cuts Costs

While avoiding generator maintenance may save you some money in the short-term, it will most likely cost you more in the long run. Instead of paying a small amount for maintenance here and there, you might have the cost of entire replacement on your hands.

Increase Longevity

Generators are not cheap. You don’t want to buy new ones often. By keeping your generator properly maintained, it will operate effectively for a longer period of time and prevent you from having to buy a new unit sooner.

Improves Efficiency

When the time comes to use your generator, you’ll obviously want it to run as efficiently as possible. Generator maintenance will ensure you aren’t wasting fuel or energy, cutting costs.
