Generator Maintenance
Protect Your Generator Investment with Yearly Maintenance
If you’ve invested in a Generac generator, you’ve already made a substantial move towards the safety, security, and convenience of your home. Your next step is protecting that investment, by scheduling annual maintenance from the Experts at Metro Electric.
When our technicians arrive for maintenance, you can expect a thorough 18-point inspection, including but not limited to the following:
Oil & Filter Change
Regular oil changes are one of the most important aspects of generator maintenance; we recommend a yearly oil change due to climate and condensation build up. Fresh oil reduces friction in the engine and prevents overheating, which extends the lifespan of your generator.
Battery Terminal Care
The battery in your generator is what kick starts the engines when it comes time for use. As such, you’ll want a strong connection to the battery terminal. Since standby generators are outdoors, it’s possible for the terminals to corrode over time due to chemical reactions and moisture in the air. We will tune up these battery connections to ensure they’re ready to power up when needed.
Software Updates
Metro Electric technicians will keep your generator controller up to date with all of the latest software, improving upon its functionality and ease of management.
Replacements & Inspections
There are some components in your generator that need regular replacement and inspection.
Air cleaners: Filter out dirt particles from the air that runs through your generator, need replacement to keep your generator running efficiently.
Spark plugs: Need regular replacement since they lose efficiency over time if exposed to overheating or carbon buildup.
Valve connections: Overall inspection and adjustments.
With a short annual visit from our generator experts, you can have peace of mind knowing that your equipment is always ready when you need it.
