3 Reasons Generator Maintenance Matters
3 Reasons Generator Maintenance Matters
A standby generator that isn't maintained is a generator that may not work when you need it. Here's why annual service is non-negotiable.
1. Silent Failures
The most common reason a generator fails to start is a dead battery — something that would have been caught during a maintenance visit. Oil degradation, clogged fuel filters, and corroded connections are equally silent until the power goes out.
2. Warranty Requirements
Kohler requires annual maintenance to keep standby generator warranties valid. Skipping service can void coverage on a unit that may still have years left on its warranty.
3. Storm Season Readiness
Florida's hurricane season runs June through November. The right time to service your generator is spring — before the season, not after the first storm. Air & Energy recommends a pre-season tune-up every year.
