Maintaining Your Generator
Generators can stop working for a number of reasons. Some breakdowns can be avoided with regular preventative maintenance, but it isn’t always possible to prevent every problem.Common generator problems include:
- Battery malfunctions: A battery that isn’t working right may need to be cleaned or replaced.
- Transfer switches: The automatic transfer switch connects the generator to your electrical panel and switches your power from the utility to the generator when the power goes out. If the switch malfunctions, the generator won’t take over in an outage.
- Generator leaks: Any coolant, oil, or fuel leaks should be repaired quickly to prevent additional damage to your generator.
- Low oil levels: The oil level should be checked regularly, and new oil should be added when needed to avoid engine breakdowns and extend engine life.
- Code violations: A generator needs to be installed according to current codes for safe and reliable operation. If the generator isn’t working due to improper installation, the code violation will need to be corrected.
- Stalling while running: If your generator is stalling, the problem could be caused by bad spark plugs or a clogged fuel filter. An expert technician will check your spark plugs for cracks or normal wear and tear and will check both your air and oil filters for buildup.
Keeping up with annual generator inspections and preventative maintenance can help avoid unexpected generator failure. During routine maintenance, the technician will check and change the oil, look for leaks, test the components of the system, and make sure everything is up to code and working reliably. Any performance issues can be addressed during maintenance visits to prevent repairs.
