Why Regular Generator Maintenance Matters
Generators are complex machines that require each component to perform as designed to deliver the power output required to operate your lights, appliances, electronics, etc.
When components wear out and fail, they diminish system performance and create hazardous conditions that make it unsafe to use the generator. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues before they become major problems.
The cost of generator maintenance is far less than repairs or replacement, which makes maintenance a far more cost-effective and appealing option for ensuring your home is fully powered through the next snowstorm, heavy rain, earthquake, or run-of-the-mill power outage.
4 Benefits of Routine Generator Maintenance
Your generator is one of the most important appliances in your home. Keeping it in good condition is essential for your health and safety. There are plenty of reasons to stay on top of your generator’s maintenance needs, including:
- Safety: A poorly maintained generator can leak fuel, ignite fires, or become the source of a catastrophic electric shock.
- Reliability: When the power grid fails, you depend on your generator to work properly. Keeping your generator well-maintained ensures your lights, HVAC systems, security systems, etc., will remain operational during blackouts and brownouts.
- Savings: A well-maintained generator is less likely to suffer a catastrophic and potentially costly system malfunction.
- Warranty coverage: Most manufacturer warranties require adherence to strict maintenance schedules. Preserving your warranty coverage is the best way to reduce long-term repair and replacement costs.

Generator Maintenance FAQs
How often do I need generator maintenance?
You should schedule professional generator service every year. Annual service is required for most warranties, and it’s the best way to keep your system in operational condition. You’ll also want to perform weekly and monthly service as your owner’s manual stipulates.
How often should I run my generator?
It’s a good idea to cycle your generator at least once every month. This step helps keep fuel and oil lines clear and makes it easier to detect malfunctions. Each system is different, so it’s best to consult your owner’s manual for the specific requirements of your system.
Does my generator need maintenance even if I haven't used it?
Absolutely. If your generator has sat unused for any period, staying on top of maintenance is recommended. It’s the best way to keep hoses in good condition, fuel, oil, and coolant lines clear, connections clean and tight, and components properly lubricated.
