The number one cause of generator failure is a dead or weak battery. It is also one of the easiest problems to prevent. Regular maintenance is what stands between a generator that starts when the storm hits and one that leaves you in the dark, and it is what keeps your manufacturer warranty intact.
Battery Replacement Program
Generator batteries typically last three to five years, and in practice we often see them fail around year four. Our Battery Replacement Program makes sure your system always has a dependable start when it matters. Ask us for the specific details when you call.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Regular maintenance is needed to ensure your generator will run when you need it most. Without it a generator can fail outright, and you also risk voiding your manufacturer warranty. Generators should have annual maintenance performed regardless of how many hours they ran that year, because the heating and cooling cycle the engine goes through during its weekly exercise breaks down the oil and degrades its protective properties.
Certified Technicians
Our technicians are factory trained to make sure your generator is maintained and repaired to factory specifications. If you are considering servicing your generator yourself, be aware that it can be dangerous and can void the warranty on your unit. Our Kohler certified technicians complete Kohler's mandatory training, and we keep a large inventory of genuine Kohler parts along with detailed service records for your unit.
What Annual Service Includes
A typical annual service covers an oil and filter change, spark plug replacement, a battery check, voltage calibration, frequency confirmation, firmware updates, a load test, and a full system inspection. We also check the fuel system, belts, hoses, coolant, and air filter, replacing whatever needs replacing.
Preventative Maintenance Agreements
We offer a range of preventative maintenance agreements so there is an option that fits your generator, your usage, and your budget. Signing a service agreement gets you annual service, priority scheduling, 24/365 emergency support, generator monitoring when your unit is equipped for it, and exclusive member pricing. Agreements run twelve months from the start date and renew automatically unless either side gives written notice before the renewal date.
Pricing depends on the specifics of your unit and the service it needs, so there are too many variables to post a single number. Call the office with your generator details and we will get you an accurate quote.
