Are you prepared for unexpected power outages? With a Generac whole home generator system from Roberts AC, you can ensure uninterrupted power supply during emergencies. However, just like any other mechanical system, regular maintenance and inspection are crucial to keep your generator running smoothly when you need it most. Most home standby generators, including Generac systems, have status readiness indicators. That means, in most cases, you can look at your generator and tell right away if it is ready to run or needs maintenance. (Please reference your owner’s manual for specifics).
We understand the importance of peace of mind when it comes to your home’s power supply. That’s why we offer comprehensive service and inspection plans for whole home generator systems, designed to keep them operating at peak performance year-round. Regular service and inspection of your whole home generator are essential to detect any potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs or system failures. Here are some key components that need to be checked during a routine inspection:
- Fluid Levels and Changes: Ensuring proper oil, coolant, and fuel levels, and adhering to recommended maintenance schedules for fluid changes, are crucial for optimal generator performance.
- Battery Health: Checking the condition and charge of the batteries, and battery fluids (if applicable) ensures reliable engine startup and backup power for control systems.
- Electrical System: Inspecting transfer switches and emergency shutdown switches, wiring, and circuit breakers for signs of wear or damage helps prevent disruptions in power supply.
- Filters and Spark Plugs: Regular replacement of the air filter and spark plugs maintains engine efficiency, prevents debris from entering the system, and keeps the engine from misfiring and running rough.
- System Cleanliness: Keeping your generator system clean and free of debris prevents overheating and ensures continuous operation. Debris can be pulled into the generator from underneath or from the sides, causing problems with the cooling system and affecting overall efficiency.
- Fuel System: Regular inspection and maintenance of fuel lines, filters, and injectors (on diesel units) to prevent fuel contamination and system malfunctions.
By investing in regular service and inspection of your whole home generator, you can avoid unexpected downtime and ensure your home remains powered and comfortable during outages. Roberts AC can also set up your system with remote mobile monitoring. This allows you to see your generator status any day, any time, from anywhere in the world. The bonus is that your technician can see it too, and advise you in advance if any potential problems or maintenance issues are detected!
