 ## Serviced on your generator's schedule

We follow Generac's maintenance schedule for your specific model, based on both time and operating hours. After a long outage, your generator may need service sooner than you'd expect — we'll let you know what's due.





 ## Home standby generator care

We focus on home standby generators, including Generac. Depending on your model's schedule, a maintenance visit can include checking and changing oil and filters, testing the battery, inspecting the engine and controller and confirming the generator is ready to run. Your technician will tell you exactly what's included before the visit, and quote any repairs separately.





 ## Something already wrong?

Missed exercise cycles, fault codes or unusual noises need a repair visit, not just maintenance. Tell us what you've noticed when you call and we'll send the right technician.

 ## A few common questions.

### How often should my generator be serviced?

Follow Generac's schedule for your model — typically based on both time and operating hours. Your technician will tell you what's due and when.



### Does a long outage change when it needs service?

Yes. Maintenance schedules count operating hours, so a long outage can mean service is due sooner than your calendar says. Tell us how long it ran when you call.



### My generator exercises every week. Does it still need maintenance?

Not necessarily. The weekly exercise shows the engine starts, but oil, filters, battery and other wear items still need regular attention.



### Is generator care included in my HVAC plan?

No — generator maintenance is a separate service from our HVAC and Whole Home plans. Ask our team about maintenance for your generator.
