Texas summers don’t just push people to the limit; they push your generator, too. High temperatures stress cooling systems, drain batteries faster, and even cause diesel fuel to degrade quickly. The result? A system that’s far more likely to fail right when you need it most.

In commercial real estate, backup power isn’t just a safety net. It’s essential infrastructure. Whether you’re developing an office building, overseeing a retail complex, or managing a multi-tenant property, your generator system should be planned just like HVAC, plumbing, or fire protection.

If you manage commercial or multi-tenant properties, you already know, power outages don’t just cause frustration. They create liability, safety concerns, and a flood of calls from tenants wanting answers. When the grid goes down, you’re the one people turn to.

When Every Minute Counts, You Need the Right Team. Midland isn’t the kind of place where backup power is “nice to have.”  Whether you're in energy, manufacturing, or commercial operations, you know one thing: when your generator fails, there’s no time to waste. That’s...

At American Generator Services, we work with businesses across West Texas to reduce downtime, minimize emergency calls, and keep their power systems reliable year-round.

In El Paso, power outages aren’t just a possibility—they’re part of the landscape. Between desert dust storms, aging infrastructure, and extreme summer heat, local businesses face significant challenges in maintaining uninterrupted operations. When the grid goes down,...

El Paso businesses know the meaning of extremes. From scorching summer heat to dust-heavy winds and remote industrial job sites, the conditions here are tough on equipment, especially generators. If your facility relies on backup power, the real question isn’t if something will go wrong, but when. And whether you’re ready when it does. That’s where generator preventative maintenance makes all the difference.

Most commercial generators will start up when tested. But can it run under full load, for hours, when your facility depends on it? If you haven’t scheduled a load bank test in the last year, you’re taking a real risk with your backup power. And in commercial and industrial settings, where downtime can disrupt critical systems and cost thousands, that’s not a risk worth taking.

For commercial and industrial operations, a faulty fuel system can take down your entire backup power plan in seconds. And by the time you realize it’s happening, you’re already in the dark.

When a hurricane hits Houston, power loss isn’t a maybe—it’s almost guaranteed. For commercial facilities, that’s not just an inconvenience—it’s a serious threat to operations, safety, and bottom lines. Your generator is there to catch the fall—but what happens if it fails, too? Here are the top three reasons commercial generators fail during hurricanes—and how to make sure yours isn’t one of them.
