Generator routine maintenance and repair are services offered by Benchmark Electric. Let's explore each topic below.
Routine GENERATOR MAINTENANCE PROTECTS YOUR INVESTMENT AND ENSURES YOUR GENERATOR IS READY
Routine scheduled generator maintenance is vital to the reliable operation of any power generation system. Any product that has an engine requires routine maintenance whether it's a car, truck, lawn equipment, or a standby generator system.
Benchmark's Preventive Maintenance Program Ensures Reliable Generator Performance
Benchmark Electric offers a Preventive Maintenance Program to ensure that your power generation equipment is running properly when you need it most.
Consistent routine generator maintenance increases equipment reliability and durability. A standby system tested and inspected on a regular schedule will perform as needed at critical times.
Most standby generator manufacturers recommend routine generator maintenance, including an oil & filter change, every 200 engine hours or annually, whichever occurs first. So, if you have been on generator power for a week or longer, it's time to schedule maintenance.
The Most Common Reason for Most Generator Failures
The #1 cause of generator failures is battery failures. The generator industry recommends replacing the battery every two years, even if the battery is showing a 12V output reading. As a result, Benchmark Electric routinely changes the battery every other year to guard against failure to start issues.
Let A Professional Handle It
Routine generator service is not just about changing the oil and filter or replacing the battery every two years. Professionally maintained standby power systems include testing the generator under house load and transfer switch tests.
Our factory-trained and certified generator technicians are qualified to test, service, and repair the generator.
During scheduled generator maintenance, minor issues are identified before becoming major problems. As a result, homeowners will experience fewer unscheduled downtime and lower unplanned repair costs.
Benchmark Electric is a factory authorized dealer for Cummins Power Generation. Additionally, we make warranty repairs for Cummins equipment and maintain a fully stocked parts department.
