Physical Maintenance and Manufacturer Service Schedules
The effects of time, wear, weather, and other physical factors play a big part in our checklist for backup generator maintenance service. Coolant, diesel fuel, lubricants, and other supplies need to be checked regularly for their condition and replacement so that their age can be tracked as well. Many of the service items are replaced based on schedules rather than waiting for them to wear out or fail, because of the unique role that your backup generator plays. It’s a different way of thinking, part of the high-reliability engineering world that’s normally confined to military equipment, space flight, and other applicants where failure is not an option. We’re proud to be a part of this field and its high standards of service.
Control Systems and Electronics
Modern generator systems contain plenty of electronics and electrical components that improve the unit’s reliability, but need checking themselves. In many cases, the circuit boards are capable of self-tests and also initiating some generator tests on a regular basis. Other components such as the backup battery which supplies power to the control systems and starting motor need physical checks for condition, and scheduled replacement. The battery is such a critical component, we take care to test it and also make sure it is properly installed and connected. The charging circuit that keeps the battery fresh is also essential for readiness, and we’ll make sure it’s doing its job. On many units, the electronics also provide monitoring of these components and may even report anomalies via an internet connection. Yet another facet of your backup generator maintenance service is now making sure it’s on the internet! We’ll be glad to explain internet-based generator monitoring and alerts.
Checking Key Components for Essential Reliability
The battery, charging system, and network connectivity are a few of the key components that our backup generator maintenance service verifies as reliable and meeting specifications. Lubricants and coolants are also key, since their role is to ensure that the generator can run for the duration of a power outage, even sometimes for days. Related components such as hoses, gaskets, and seals each have their own visual checks and replacement schedules. The same for drive belts, bearings, and other wear components. Periodically, full operational testing is performed, from making sure the automatic transfer switch performs the task of switching power sources, to ensuring that as your backup generator reaches operating temperature, everything performs as expected.
Operational Testing, the Ultimate Confidence Builder
Periodic testing of your backup generator throughout the year in Marion, SC provides confidence in its operation and also tests it in a range of weather and temperature conditions from month to month. Many newer models perform basic startup and short operational tests on their own. As these tests are unattended, there’s no skilled backup generator maintenance service expert on hand to note any visual or audible signs of trouble. Technicians look for signs of excessive vibration, loose cabinets and components, abnormal sounds or smells, and other issues that may not be noted by automatic self-checks by the generator system. Power quality is also an important concern, making sure that your home or business is receiving the proper voltage and frequency, even AC waveforms as most generators we service are designed to produce high-quality sine wave power.
