Three Things Nobody Tells You About
Standby Generators
70%
Fail When Called On
Most residential standby generators that haven't been serviced in 12+ months fail to start during an actual outage. The battery dies first. Then the fuel degrades. Then the controls drift out of spec. The weekly self-test won't catch any of it.
$0
Warranty Coverage
Without Documentation
Most manufacturer warranties — Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Champion — require documented annual maintenance by a certified technician. Skip it, and a $3,000 repair bill comes out of your pocket, not theirs.
5 - 10 min
The Self-Test doesn’t tell the whole story
The weekly self-test runs your engine for 12 minutes with no load. It won't detect a weak battery, a failing transfer switch, or contaminated fuel. By the time a storm hits, it's too late to find out.

EVERY SINGLE VISIT
What We Actually Do When We Show Up
Most "annual inspections" are a 10-minute drive-by. Ours aren't.
⛽
Fuel System Inspection
Natural gas or propane line integrity check. Filters replaced as needed.
🌡️
Coolant & Air Filter Check
Coolant condition, level, and air filter inspected. Replaced when needed.
🏃
Operational Load Test
We run the unit under simulated load — not just an idle self-test.
📋
Written Report With Photos
Emailed to you after every visit. Your service history archived — matters when you sell.
🔧
Oil & Filter Change
Factory-spec synthetic oil every visit. Not a "check" — a change.
🔋
Battery Load Test
Full load, voltage, and CCA test. The weekly self-test misses this entirely.
⚡
Transfer Switch Inspection
Full function test and inspection — the part most techs skip.
🔍
Fault Code Scan & Clear
We pull every stored code, diagnose, and clear. You get the full picture.
All major brands serviced: Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins, Honeywell, Champion, Seneca, and more. Not sure if we cover your unit? Call us with your model number.
