Generator won't start

Unusual noises or vibration
Oil or fluid leaks

Generator Maintenance in Lakeland, FL
Your standby generator may spend most of its life waiting.
That doesn't mean nothing is happening.
Batteries age. Oil needs to be changed. Filters become dirty. Connections and components can deteriorate. Small problems can develop long before a major outage reveals them.
Routine generator maintenance gives you an opportunity to identify those issues before you're depending on the generator to power your home.
Depending on your generator and its service requirements, maintenance may include inspection of components such as:
Engine oil
Oil filter
Air filter
Spark plugs
Battery and charging system
Belts and hoses, where applicable
Electrical connections
Generator enclosure
Exercise cycle
Warning codes
Transfer system operation
Overall generator performance
Maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer and model, so your generator should be serviced according to the requirements for your particular system.

Why Regular Generator Maintenance Matters in Florida
Florida puts backup generators in an unusual position.
Your generator might go months without experiencing a major outage and then suddenly be expected to run for an extended period during severe weather.
Heat, humidity, storms and long periods between major outages make preventative maintenance especially important.
A generator that looks perfectly fine sitting beside your house isn't necessarily ready to carry your home's electrical load.
Regular maintenance helps identify potential problems before hurricane season, severe weather or an unexpected power outage turns them into an emergency.
How Often Should a Standby Generator Be Serviced?
There isn't one maintenance schedule that applies to every generator.
Service intervals can depend on:
Generator manufacturer
Generator model
Engine hours
Age of the system
How frequently it operates
Previous maintenance
Manufacturer recommendations
Conditions where the generator is installed
If you don't know when your generator was last serviced, that's a good reason to have it inspected.
The Gen Stop can evaluate your system and help you determine what maintenance it currently needs.

Don't Wait Until a Hurricane Is in the Forecast
When a major storm begins approaching Florida, generator service companies get busy quickly.
That's also when homeowners discover dead batteries, overdue maintenance, warning codes and generators that aren't exercising properly.
Having your generator inspected and serviced before severe weather is approaching gives you time to address potential problems without the pressure of an approaching storm.
If you haven't checked your generator recently, now is a good time.
We Can Service Your Generator Even If We Didn't Install It
