At American Generator Services, we provide a comprehensive, around-the-clock preventative maintenance program designed to maximize the performance and dependability of your generator. Here’s everything you need to know about why preventative maintenance is essential.

Why You Need Generator Preventative Maintenance

Generators are complex systems that require consistent, careful attention to perform at their best. Our Preventative Maintenance Program prevents unexpected failures, minimizes costly repairs, and extends the life of your generator.

  1. Regulatory Compliance:

Meet standards set by the NFPA, TCEQ, and NEC with regular maintenance, ensuring your equipment operates within strict guidelines.

  1. Minimized Downtime:

Our program helps avoid unplanned outages that can disrupt business and cause revenue loss by identifying and addressing issues before they escalate.

  1. Extended Equipment Life:

Invest in regular upkeep to reduce wear and tear and extend the lifespan of your generator.

  1. Operational Assurance:

With preventative maintenance, you can trust that your generator will perform reliably, even under heavy loads or challenging conditions.

What is a Preventative Maintenance Program

American Generator Services Preventative Maintenance Program covers every aspect of generator care through a rigorous 80-point inspection, ensuring each system functions optimally. Here’s a look at the systems we examine:

  • Engine Lubricating System: Six key checkpoints ensure all moving parts are well-lubricated, reducing friction and wear.
  • Engine Cooling System: Fourteen checkpoints maintain temperature control, preventing overheating and ensuring efficient operation.
  • Air Intake and Exhaust Systems: Regular checks of the air intake and exhaust (7 points combined) keep contaminants out and ensure clean emissions.
  • Fuel and Electrical Systems: 22 points within the fuel and electrical systems ensure stable power generation and fuel efficiency.
  • Generator and Power Distribution: Through eight specific checkpoints, we inspect the integrity of the generator and its distribution system to ensure reliable power flow.
  • Running and Departure Inspections: Our comprehensive departure check includes 12 points during operation and seven before departure, ensuring everything is in perfect working order.
