In Houston, hurricane season isn’t just a weather event—it’s a business risk. A power outage can halt production, compromise safety systems, and cost thousands in lost revenue for commercial and industrial operations. That’s why now is the time to ask: Is your generator ready for hurricane season?
If the answer isn’t a confident yes, it’s time to prepare.
Why Generator Prep Matters in Houston
Every year, tropical storms and hurricanes bring heavy rain, strong winds, and extended power outages across Houston and surrounding areas. For businesses, especially those in manufacturing, healthcare, data centers, or oil and gas, uninterrupted power is non-negotiable.
Your generator is your first line of defense—but only if it’s been maintained and tested properly.
At American Generator Services in Houston, we specialize in commercial generator readiness. We know the local challenges and what it takes to keep your business powered up, even during the worst of hurricane season.
Essential Generator Prep for Hurricane Season
Here are the most critical steps Houston businesses should take right now:
Schedule Preventative Maintenance
Routine maintenance is the foundation of generator reliability—especially heading into hurricane season. Our technicians will inspect your system from top to bottom, checking for wear, leaks, battery issues, fuel contamination, and more.
With our 24/7 Preventative Maintenance Program services, you don’t have to wonder if your generator’s ready—we’ll make sure of it. A well-planned PM program, with regularly scheduled maintenance, is key to keeping your power generation equipment reliable and minimizing costly downtime.
Every AGS inspection includes our detailed 80-point checklist, so nothing gets overlooked. We catch the problems early—so your generator doesn’t let you down when it matters most.
Perform a Load Bank Test
A generator might start, but that doesn’t mean it’s ready to handle your facility’s full power demand. A Load Bank Test ensures your generator can operate under full load and reveals any hidden performance issues before it’s too late.
Inspect Fuel, Oil, & Coolant Systems
Hurricanes don’t wait for your fluids to be topped off. We’ll inspect and repair any fuel, oil, or coolant leaks, clean or replace filters, replace your oil, and make sure your radiator is clean and ready for action.
Replace Weak Batteries
Battery failure is one of the most common reasons generators don’t start during a storm. If your battery is nearing the end of its life, we’ll recommend a replacement now—before the first storm rolls in.
Check Transfer Switches and Control Panels
Your generator is only as good as its controls. We’ll test ATS systems, control panels, and alarms to make sure everything transitions smoothly when the power goes out.
