Imagine this: A major storm rolls in, the power flickers, then—darkness. But not for you. Your generator hums to life, and business continues as usual. That’s the peace of mind a well-maintained generator provides. Imagine the opposite—your generator sputters, struggles, and fails when you need it most. The difference? Regular inspections.
At American Generator Services, our goal is simple: to be the last call you ever have to make for your backup power. One of the best ways to ensure your commercial generator is ready is to prioritize regular inspections.
Why Inspections Matter
Generators aren’t just backup equipment; they’re your safety net. But like any hardworking machine, they need care to stay reliable. Regular inspections do more than just spot issues—they prevent small problems from turning into catastrophic failures.
Think of it like a car. You wouldn’t drive thousands of miles without an oil change or tire check. Generators need that same attention. Over time, fuel and oil degrade, batteries lose their charge, and connections loosen. Catching these issues early saves money, extends the generator’s life, and ensures it performs flawlessly when the grid goes down.
Compliance with NFPA Standards
Regular inspections aren’t just about performance—they’re also about compliance. NFPA 110 sets the standard for reliable emergency power systems. These regulations ensure that backup power sources, including standby generators, meet strict safety and operational standards. At American Generator Services, we follow NFPA guidelines to keep your system compliant, reliable, and prepared for any emergency.

The Cost of Neglect
A neglected generator isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a risk. Power outages can cost businesses thousands in lost revenue, spoil refrigerated goods, disrupt essential medical equipment, put valuable data at risk, and create unsafe conditions. Without regular inspections, a minor issue—like a corroded connection or old fuel—can snowball into a complete failure.
Emergency repairs cost significantly more than preventative maintenance, not just in dollars but in downtime. And when a crisis hits, finding parts and service during widespread outages becomes a logistical nightmare.

Regular inspections aren’t just about avoiding problems—they’re about ensuring confidence. They turn your generator from a gamble into a guarantee.
