When the power goes out, your Generac generator is your home’s hero. But like any hero, it needs regular care to stay ready for action! Wondering when to service your generator? Here’s a quick guide:
1. After Every 200 Hours of Use
If your generator runs often (especially during storm season), it’s essential to service it after about 200 hours of operation. That’s roughly 8 days of continuous use.
2. At Least Once a Year
Even if you don’t use it much, your generator needs a yearly checkup. Oil changes, filter replacements, and general inspections keep it healthy and ready to go when you need it most.
3. After Major Weather Events
Hurricanes, heavy snowstorms, and flooding can strain your generator. After severe weather, a quick inspection can catch small problems before they become costly repairs.
4. When You See a Warning Light
Don’t ignore flashing lights or error codes! They’re your generator’s way of asking for help. Schedule a service right away to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
