Can I service my standby generator myself safely and effectively?

You can handle simple checks, but full standby generator service should be done by a licensed, insured technician. This is safer around transfer switches, live electrical work, and natural gas or propane fuel systems. We offer preventive maintenance programs and will outline a maintenance plan for reliability. For installations or major repairs, we acquire permits and coordinate inspections to ensure code compliance.

  • Run the manufacturer’s exercise cycle.
  • Keep the enclosure clear and look for damage.
  • Watch for alarms or error lights.
  • Schedule professional maintenance.
