Clarksville Home Generator Maintenance
How often you need home generator maintenance varies by make, model, and usage. We normally recommend this service every six to 12 months or every 500 hours of use, but you should refer to your manufacturer’s manual for specific timeframes for your unit. Your generator may require this service at more frequent intervals to keep the warranty valid.
Home generator maintenance is very important when it comes to keeping your generator reliable and safe. Maintenance further helps you by providing you with a way to avoid expensive repairs and possible breakdowns. It’s also a great way to optimize fuel consumption, which reduces operating costs.
During a maintenance visit, we ensure your generator is ready to handle your home’s electrical demand. Our Clarksville electrician team will do a thorough inspection. This includes checking the fuel lines for blockages, leaks, or degradation. Furthermore, we look at the electrical connections and check the battery voltage.
If you have a gas or diesel generator, we may suggest adding a stabilizer to refresh your fuel supply. For natural gas and propane models, we make sure the fuel pressure is in the correct range. All of this is to make sure your generator will provide stable power output.
In addition, we’ll address any issues we come across. This could be problems with the control panel, wiring, or even the transfer switch. We also clean the radiator, check coolant levels, and inspect all hoses.
