Generator Maintenance
Locations
Generators are a lifeline for many in Nashville, especially when storms hit or unexpected outages occur. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your Generac generator is ready to support your home or business when you need it most. In the heart of Music City, you don’t want your home’s harmony disrupted by a power outage. That’s why maintaining your Generac generator should hit the right note in your household’s to-do list. From checking oil levels to inspecting battery terminals, every bit of tuning up ensures your generator is ready to perform like a headliner at the Grand Ole Opry when the lights go out.
Yet, just like any complex piece of machinery, your whole-home generator has its specific needs and schedules for upkeep. Here are some tips to help Nashvillians keep their generators in peak condition:
Regular Engine Checks
Ensure your generator’s engine is serviced according to the manufacturer’s schedule. This typically includes changing the oil, replacing oil filters, air filters, and spark plugs.
Battery Maintenance
Test your generator’s battery regularly and keep the terminals clean. A failing battery is a common cause of generator start-up problems.
Cooling System
Check the coolant level during your routine maintenance checks. A generator’s engine operates at optimal temperatures when the cooling system is functioning properly.
Fuel System
For those rare times when the generator has not been used for extended periods, make sure to run it at least once every month to keep fuel moving through the system and identify any issues that might need addressing.
Professional Inspections
Schedule an annual inspection with a certified Generac technician. They can carry out comprehensive checks and test runs to ensure your backup power is reliable. Remember that prevention is always better than a cure. By following these practical maintenance steps, you can avoid the inconvenience of a generator that won’t start or fails when you need it most.
