The Importance of Regular Maintenance

It’s easy to forget about your backup generator if you go a long time without facing a power outage, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect routine maintenance procedures. Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your generator working smoothly and ready to perform during power outages, preventing unexpected failures when it matters most. It also improves safety by minimizing the chance of malfunctions that could create dangerous situations. 

Working with the generator maintenance service providers at NW Generator Pros is an easy way to ensure your generator is ready to go no matter what the weather brings. Expert maintenance and care also help ensure a longer lifespan for your generator, so you always have power you can rely on. 

When To Perform Backup Generator Maintenance 

Homeowners should check their generators regularly to spot visible issues like fluid leaks, unusual noises, or system warnings. It’s also essential to regularly clean the area around the generator, keeping it free from debris and obstructions to maintain proper airflow. While these self-performed maintenance responsibilities can help catch problems early, professional maintenance should be scheduled annually to ensure the generator operates safely and efficiently. 

Annual backup generator maintenance services include comprehensive inspections, part replacements, and advanced performance tests that require specialized tools and expertise. By combining routine visual inspections and cleanings with annual professional servicing, you can address issues proactively and keep your generator in top working condition.

With NW Generator Pros, you can count on expert care that keeps your generator ready for any power outage. 

Maintaining Your Generator's Manufacturer Warranty
