FAQs
How often should a standby generator be serviced in Fayetteville?
For most residential and light-commercial generators we recommend a full preventive maintenance visit every 6 months or after 100–150 run-hours—whichever comes first. Fayetteville’s mix of hot, humid summers and the occasional winter ice event can accelerate wear on oil, filters, coolant, and batteries, so staying on a semi-annual schedule helps ensure your unit is ready before severe weather hits.
What does routine electrical maintenance for a generator include?
Our standard maintenance checklist covers: • Complete visual inspection and diagnostic scan • Oil, oil-filter, and fuel-filter replacement • Coolant level check and antifreeze strength test • Battery voltage, electrolyte level, and load-bank testing • Inspection and torqueing of all electrical connections, breakers, and lugs • Exercise of transfer switch and verification of proper phase balance • Air filter cleaning or replacement • Software/firmware updates (for newer digital controllers) • Final full-load run to confirm output voltage, frequency, and automatic shutdown safeguards
Why is professional generator maintenance important if my unit seems to be running fine?
Many generator failures are silent until the moment you need power. Professional maintenance detects hidden issues such as fuel contamination, weak starter batteries, loose wiring, or clogged breather ports. Catching these early prevents costly emergency repairs, extends engine life, preserves fuel efficiency, and upholds the manufacturer’s warranty—ultimately giving you peace of mind during Fayetteville’s next storm-related outage.
Can your team service all brands and sizes of generators?
Yes. Our licensed electricians and factory-trained technicians have experience with residential portables (5–15 kW), whole-home standby units (18–38 kW), and commercial gensets up to 500 kW from Generac, Cummins, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, CAT, and more. We carry OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts on our service trucks to minimize downtime.
Will routine maintenance affect my generator’s warranty?
Properly documented maintenance actually protects your warranty. Manufacturers require proof of scheduled service, use of approved filters/fluids, and work performed by qualified personnel. We log every visit, record serial numbers, and use OEM parts so you remain in full compliance with Generac, Kohler, Cummins, and other warranty terms.
Do you offer emergency repairs if an issue is discovered during maintenance?
Absolutely. If we uncover a critical problem—such as a failing voltage regulator or contaminated fuel—we can either repair it on the spot or dispatch our 24/7 emergency crew. We stock common replacement parts locally in Fayetteville, so most repairs are completed the same day to keep your power protection online.
