Your standby generator is built to last — but like any major appliance, it needs regular maintenance to stay ready for action.

Here’s how to keep your generator in peak condition:

• Run it monthly
Set it to perform an automatic self-test or run it manually for 15–20 minutes once a month. This helps circulate fluids and prevent buildup.

• Keep it clean and clear
Check the area around the unit for leaves, snow, or debris that could block ventilation or access.

• Inspect fuel and oil levels
Whether it runs on propane or natural gas, make sure your supply is sufficient. For oil-lubricated units, top off and change oil as recommended by the manufacturer.

• Replace filters and spark plugs
These should be checked annually and replaced as needed to avoid startup failure.

• Get a professional inspection
At least once a year, schedule a licensed electrician to perform a full system test, battery check, and diagnostic scan.
