A standby generator can sit for months, then have to run for days. In between, the battery ages, the oil breaks down and South Florida heat, humidity and salt air work on the connections. Most manufacturers call for service at least once a year, plus extra service after long run times. A generator that has not been serviced is the one most likely to fail in the first hour of an outage.
Every visit follows the manufacturer’s schedule for your model. A typical service includes:
Sometimes you only need to know where a generator stands: you bought a home that has one, it has not been serviced in years, or you want a check before you rely on it. An inspection covers the engine, the electrical connections, the transfer switch, the fuel connection and the controller. You get a clear report of what is fine, what needs service now and what can wait.
Most automatic exercise cycles run the engine without carrying your home’s load. A generator can pass its weekly exercise and still struggle when the A/C and everything else come on at once. A load test transfers real load to the generator and checks that it holds steady voltage and frequency. It is the best way to confirm the system will do its job, and it is part of how we check a unit after a major repair.
Hurricane season starts June 1. A pre-season visit covers the full service above, plus the things that matter most before a storm:
After a long storm run, book a follow-up service. An air-cooled generator that ran for days usually needs an oil change before the next outage.
A maintenance plan puts your generator on a schedule, so service happens on time without you having to remember. Most homes do well with one visit a year before hurricane season. Generators that run often, or that back up a business, may need two. Tell us the make, the model and the age of your unit, and we will recommend a schedule and give you the price.
We maintain Generac, Kohler and Briggs & Stratton home standby generators, including units another company installed. If yours needs more than routine service, we can repair it on the same visit once you approve the price. For businesses, see commercial generators.

At least once a year, or as your manufacturer’s schedule calls for. Also book service after any long run, such as a multi-day outage after a hurricane.
Not fully. Most exercise cycles run the engine without your home’s load. A load test during maintenance confirms the generator can carry the house.
We test the battery and charger, change the oil and filters as scheduled, clean the enclosure, check wiring, fuel and the transfer switch, review the fault history and run the generator. You get a written summary.
