Generator Maintenance Tips

Essential Standby Generator Tips from Tiffin Deluxe Services, Inc.

At Tiffin Deluxe Services, Inc., we understand the importance of reliable and efficient standby generator operation. This is especially true during unexpected power outages that can occur during winter. Regular maintenance is key to the longevity and performance of the standby generators we install. Here, we offer practical tips to help you keep your generator in top condition, ready to provide seamless power when you need it most.

 

Schedule Preventive Maintenance Inspections

Ensure your standby generator remains in excellent working condition by scheduling professional inspections at least once a year. Our experienced technicians at Tiffin Deluxe Services, Inc. specialize in thorough assessments, focusing on critical components such as the battery, fuel system, and control panel.

These preventive maintenance checks help identify potential issues before they lead to significant problems, ensuring your generator is always ready for immediate use. Additionally, we recommend checking the coolant and oil levels every 50 hours of operation, or every six months, whichever comes first.

 

Keep It Clean and Test on a Regular Basis

Dirt and debris can hinder your generator’s performance. Keep the area around your generator clear and clean the exterior surfaces to prevent build-up grime that could affect its functionality. Clearing a space around the generator can help if it should require service.

Testing your standby generator monthly is another crucial maintenance step. This practice not only verifies its operational status but also helps it run at peak efficiency. During these tests, listen for any irregular noises and check for any unusual performance issues. If something doesn’t seem right, contact Tiffin Deluxe Services immediately for expert advice and service.

Whenever you detect a potential issue, addressing it right away can prevent additional damage and higher repair costs down the line.
