A backup generator spends most of its life waiting. It sits quietly beside your home or business for months at a stretch, and the one night the grid goes down is the night it has to start on the first try. Regular generator maintenance is what ensures that happens.
Anderson Power Services has local offices across Georgia, South Carolina, South Alabama, and Florida. As an authorized Generac dealer with factory-trained technicians, we keep standby generators running right long after the install is done, backed by service plans and 24/7 remote monitoring.
Why a Standby Generator Needs Regular Maintenance
A standby generator is a small engine, and an engine that mostly sits still ages in its own way. Oil breaks down over time. Batteries lose their charge. Fuel can gum up, connections corrode, and in the humid, storm-prone Southeast, a harsh environment goes to work on equipment left outdoors year-round. Debris and pests find their way into places they should not.
Regular maintenance stays ahead of all of it. A factory-trained technician catches a weak battery, a dirty air filter, or a fouled fuel system while it is still a small fix, long before it becomes costly repairs or a no-start on the night of a power outage. Proper maintenance keeps the entire generator at peak performance, so the power generator you paid for actually runs when the grid quits.
Generator Maintenance and Repair Services
Anderson Power Services handles the full arc of generator service, from a single scheduled visit to a year-round service plan with remote monitoring. Our expert team of factory-trained technicians provides standby generator maintenance for homes and businesses across the Southeast.
Preventative Maintenance
We handle the specific maintenance tasks a standby generator needs on a set maintenance schedule: oil and filter changes using manufacturer-approved lubricants and parts, spark plug checks, battery testing, and inspection of the fuel system and exhaust system, using the maintenance kit matched to your generator model. Routine inspections catch wear early and keep the unit ready between visits.
Service Plans With 24/7 Remote Monitoring
A service plan puts your maintenance on a schedule you do not have to track. We plan and perform the visits, and 24/7 remote monitoring watches the generator year-round, flagging a potential issue the moment it appears so we can act before you ever notice. That is real peace of mind, without a calendar reminder.
Generator Repair and Diagnostics
Our service technicians trace the problem to its root cause instead of swapping parts and hoping for the best. We handle repairs on residential, commercial, and industrial generators across the brands we service.
Load Bank Testing for Commercial Generators
Larger standby generators need to prove they can carry their rated load. Load bank testing puts the unit under a controlled load to confirm it performs under real demand, which is often part of compliance for commercial generators.
The Brands We Service
As an authorized Generac dealer, we know Generac units inside and out, and our team also services Kohler and other major generator models, including systems we did not install. From a single home generator to a large commercial system, the maintenance is handled the same careful way.
What to Expect From a Maintenance Visit
Every visit follows the same careful routine, so nothing gets skipped and you always know where your generator stands.
- Full inspection: We check the engine, battery, wiring, transfer switch, and enclosure for wear, leaks, or corrosion.
- Service: We change the oil and oil filter, replace the air filter and spark plug when they are due, and go through the fuel system.
- Test run: We start the generator under operating conditions and confirm the automatic transfer switch hands off the load the way it should.
- Report: We document the visit, note any potential issues, and walk you through what we recommend, with no surprises.
Why Scheduled Maintenance Matters
A service plan costs less than the emergency it prevents, and it changes what happens when something does go wrong.
- Priority service scheduling. Plan customers go to the front of the line, which matters most after a storm when every generator in the region needs attention at once.
- Automatic maintenance reminders. We track the maintenance schedule so you don’t have to, and we schedule the visit.
- Early detection of battery and fuel system issues. Dead batteries and clogged fuel systems are the two most common reasons a standby generator fails to start. Both are caught during routine inspections, long before an outage finds them for you.
- Reduced risk of emergency repairs. A worn part replaced on a scheduled visit is routine service. The same part failing during an outage means emergency dispatch, expedited parts, and a dark building while you wait.
Keeping Your Generator Ready Year-Round
A generator only helps if it starts when you need it. With a service plan and 24/7 remote monitoring, your system is tested on a maintenance schedule and watched the rest of the year, so a small problem is caught long before the next storm.
Because we keep local offices in each of our markets, the people who service your generator know the weather and the code where you live. Our factory-trained technicians maintain home and business generators across the Southeast, from a residential generator to a large commercial system, even ones another company installed, and financing is available for the work. We stand behind every visit, so whether your generator will start is a question you never have to sit with.
Why Choose Anderson Power Services
Anderson Power Services has kept backup generators running across the Southeast since 1995. Our factory-trained technicians are certified on Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and other major brands, so whether you own a home standby unit or run a large commercial system, the person servicing it knows what tends to wear out and checks for it before an outage does.
As an authorized Generac dealer, we service what we sell along with plenty of units another company installed, and we keep the same team on your generator visit after visit. That continuity means a small problem gets noticed early, financing keeps the upkeep manageable, and when utility power is interrupted, you are counting on a system someone has actually looked after.
Generator Maintenance FAQs
How often should a standby generator be serviced?
Most home standby generators need service once or twice a year, with a fuller check annually. Usage, generator model, and environment all factor in. A unit that runs often, or one sitting in a harsh coastal spot, may need attention more frequently. A factory-trained technician sets the right maintenance schedule for your generator system.
What is included in a generator maintenance visit?
A visit covers the specific maintenance tasks your unit needs: oil changes with synthetic oil, a new oil filter and air filter, spark plug and battery checks, an inspection of the fuel system and exhaust system, and a test run that confirms the generator and transfer switch work together. Routine inspections catch a potential issue before it grows.
Can I maintain the generator myself?
You can handle small things like keeping the area clear and watching for warning lights, but most maintenance calls for a certified technician. Oil, filters, fuel system work, and load bank testing take training and the right parts, and doing them wrong can void a warranty. Professional service keeps the entire generator right and your coverage intact.
What happens if I skip generator maintenance?
Skipped maintenance is the most common reason a generator fails to start during a power outage. Old oil, a dead battery, or a clogged fuel system can turn a reliable unit into an expensive problem at the worst moment, and small neglected issues grow into costly repairs. Regular maintenance is far cheaper than an emergency.
Does maintenance keep my warranty valid?
Usually, yes. Generac, Kohler, and other manufacturers generally require proof of routine maintenance to keep a warranty in force. We follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and document every visit, so your coverage stays valid and your records are ready if you ever need them.
Do you service generators you did not install?
Yes. Our factory-trained technicians maintain and repair standby generators from Generac, Kohler, and other brands, including units another company installed. We service residential, commercial, and industrial generators across the Southeast.
What is 24/7 remote monitoring?
Remote monitoring connects your generator to our team so we can see its status around the clock. If the unit reports a fault or misses a self-test, we know right away and can respond before you are left without backup power. It comes with our service plans and adds a layer of protection between visits.
