An emergency power generation system is an important backup that generates electricity when the primary power supply is lost. Whether it is a bad storm, equipment breakdown, or a power grid malfunction, having a reliable backup can prevent costly disruptions and protect your safety. At Margor Electric Inc., regular maintenance is the key to running these systems smoothly when needed.
Regular Inspections Matter
Scheduled visual checks identify any damage or wear before things get out of hand. You should:
- Check fuel and coolant level
- Search for loose wires or oil leaks
- Check belts, hoses, and batteries for wear
These simple tests can be completed weekly or monthly, depending on system usage. If unsure, a professional electrician may help you arrange a schedule for your requirements.
Keep It Clean and Clear
Dust, dirt, and debris may impact your system’s performance. Always:
- Change the air filters frequently
- Ensure the area around the generator is clear of clutter
- Clean the outside and the control panel
A clean unit functions better and has a longer life.
Don’t Ignore Fuel Maintenance
Fuel quality becomes an issue if your machine runs on diesel or natural gas. Diesel, for instance, can degrade over time and accumulate sludge that clogs, filters and harms the engine.
- Regularly rotate your fuel supply
- Add stabilizers to avoid fuel degradation
- Inspect for water contamination
Your maintenance schedule should always have fuel checks, particularly for long-term storage systems.
Battery Care Is Crucial
Most Emergency Power Generators start on a battery. The generator will not activate without a good battery when the power goes off.
- Monitor battery voltage and connections every month
- Replace batteries every 2–3 years
- Keep terminals clean and corrosion-free
Proper battery maintenance ensures your backup system is ready to go when needed.
Schedule Annual Professional Service
Even though you can accomplish many things independently, a yearly visit by a certified technician is essential. This consists of:● Monitor battery voltage and connections every month
- Complete system diagnostics
- Software upgrades for newer computer systems
- Thorough inspection and replacement of parts when necessary
Trained technicians can spot problems you may miss and maintain your system at its best.
