Generator Maintenance
Like your car, backup generators rely on a gasoline engine that requires routine maintenance to function dependably. Regular professional servicing ensures that standby generators and other backup power systems are ready to perform when you need them most. In addition to annual maintenance visits, Ace Hardware Home Services recommends following the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines and warranty requirements outlined in your owner’s manual.
When the Ace Hardware Home Services team conducts your annual generator maintenance, they follow a detailed checklist customized to your generator's make, model, and age. This checklist may include:
• Removing debris from the casing, intake louvers, and exhaust vents.
• Inspecting control panel fuses.
• Cleaning and testing battery terminals, checking battery health, and verifying electrical connections.
• Examining the fuel system, gas pressure, and connections.
• Replacing oil, spark plugs, and air filters.
• Testing the transfer switch. (While many generators run weekly self-tests, transfer switch testing is part of annual servicing.)
• Inspecting wiring for corrosion or pest damage.
• Verifying the generator’s power output capacity.
By keeping up with these maintenance tasks, you can ensure your generator is always ready to deliver reliable backup power.
