Frequently Asked Questions

Question - How do I ensure my generators will start when the utility fails?
Answer – You need an effective planned maintenance generator service schedule.

Question - Why should a correctly installed generator fail to start?
Answer – It may be susceptible to fuel deterioration, battery discharge, component corrosion or other issue that only schedule maintenance will diagnose.

Question – Is it not more economic to use service technicians for other equipment on site to service the generator.
Answer – No. Only a trained and certified generator technician should perform maintenance on a generator system.
