Generator Maintenance Services

A generator is built to last, but only if it’s maintained. It sits for long stretches, then works hard the moment an outage hits. That start-stop pattern puts stress on parts you can’t see, like sensors, fuel valves, and batteries. Without attention, they can fail quietly until the day your system doesn’t start.

Routine maintenance keeps your generator reliable. It helps:

• Catch small issues before they cause a shutdown.
• Prevent fuel and oil problems that come from sitting idle.
• Extend the life of the engine and electrical system.
• Maintain safe, efficient performance through every season.

In western Washington, where outages come with wind and heavy rain, preventive service isn’t a luxury. It’s the difference between a smooth handoff to backup power and a dark, cold night.

What’s Involved

During a maintenance visit, our electricians run a complete inspection of your system. We check performance, make adjustments, and confirm that your generator is ready for the next power cut.

Here’s what a standard maintenance appointment includes:

• Checking oil, coolant, and fuel levels.
• Cleaning and replacing air and fuel filters.
• Testing start-up response and load handling.
• Inspecting belts, hoses, and wiring.
• Reviewing the battery and charging system.
• Verifying that the automatic transfer switch works correctly.

We finish every visit with a short rundown of what we found. If anything needs attention, we’ll explain it clearly and help you decide what’s next.
