Why Regular Standby Generator Maintenance Is Essential

Standby generators are designed to protect your home or business during unexpected power outages — but they can only do their job if they’re properly maintained. Like any mechanical system, a generator requires routine care to stay reliable, efficient, and code-compliant.

Here’s why regular maintenance is not just important — it’s essential:

A generator that doesn’t start during a power outage defeats its purpose. Regular maintenance ensures:
- Batteries are charged
- Fuel systems are clean
- Oil, filters, and spark plugs are fresh
- Startup and load tests are successful
When the power goes out, your generator must start — no excuses.
Small issues (like a clogged filter or failing battery) can lead to total failure during a storm. Maintenance detects and fixes problems before they become emergencies.
Most generator manufacturers, like Generac and Kohler, require documented maintenance by certified professionals to keep the warranty valid.
A well-maintained generator can last 10+ years. Neglect leads to corrosion, carbon buildup, fuel contamination, and engine wear — all of which shorten its life.
In Florida, certain facilities (like healthcare and senior living) are legally required to maintain and test generators regularly — with documentation. AHCA, OSHA, and Florida Building Code require backup power plans to include maintenance schedules.
Preventative care is far cheaper than emergency repairs or full system replacements after a failure.
