Signs Your Generator Needs Repair
If you’ve had your generator for quite some time, and it’s been reliable since you got it, it’s easy to assume that it’ll keep working for you. Because a generator is hopefully seldom used, many don’t anticipate the possibility of it not working. These are a few signs to look out for that indicate your generator needs repairs:
- The generator isn’t starting
- Noticeable exterior damage
- Leaks
- Diagnostic alerts
- Maintenance hasn’t been completed in a while
Preventative Maintenance for Your Generator
It’s recommended to schedule professional routine maintenance for your whole-home generator every six to 12 months, but there are a few preventative measures you can take weekly or monthly. These include:
- Running it once a week: This ensures your generator is always functioning. It also makes it easier to catch a problem if it doesn’t turn on during a maintenance check.
- Checking oil and coolant levels: Running low on either of these will cause your generator to malfunction, overheat, and shut down.
- Replace dirty air filters: Dirty/clogged air filters prevent proper airflow, leading to decreased efficiency.
