Generator Maintenance
Just like your car, backup generators have a gasoline engine that needs routine maintenance to perform reliably. Professional generator maintenance helps ensure standby generators and other backup power sources perform reliably at a moment’s notice. Between annual maintenance appointments with our service providers, Ace Hardware Home Services also recommends reviewing and adhering to manufacturer maintenance and warranty instructions laid out in your owner’s manual.
When the team at Ace Hardware Home Services arrives for your annual generator checkup, they will perform a checklist of tasks tailored to the make, model and age of your device. Steps may include:
- Clearing debris from inside & outside casing, intake louvers & exhaust vents.
- Checking control panel fuses.
- Cleaning battery terminals, verifying battery strength & testing electrical connections.
- Checking fuel system assembly, gas pressure & connections.
- Changing oil, spark plugs & air filters.
- Testing the transfer switch. (While your generator probably self-tests on a weekly basis, transfer switch testing is conducted during annual maintenance.)
- Checking all wiring for corrosion & pest damage.
- Verifying generator’s power capacity output.
