Types of Generator Maintenance We Offer
Understanding why your generator needs annual maintenance can help motivate you to schedule it. Generators require the following maintenance actions each year:
- Visual inspection. Your Arctic Air technician will carefully inspect how your generator looks, ensuring that all mechanical and electrical systems are intact and functional. This inspection will include looking for leaks, assessing oil and coolant levels, guaranteeing that belts and hoses are in good shape, and evaluating the battery terminals and cables.
- Oil and filter change. Oil in a Generac generator should be changed after the initial 20 to 30 hours and then after every 100 hours of run time moving forward.
- Function test. A power outage simulation test will be run to make sure the generator properly responds.
- Running test under load. Generator load testing is a vital part of your preventative maintenance. It involves an examination and evaluation of a genset. It makes sure that all primary components of the generator set are in proper working condition.
