How to Keep Your Generator Ready to Go

A generator is a smart purchase for homeowners in Wayne, PA. You never know what Mother Nature is going to throw at you, and with another winter just around the corner, it’s always best to be prepared. But preparation means more than just having the system properly installed. You should schedule a maintenance session once or twice a year from a trained technician, allowing him or her to look for any trouble and ensure that you don’t get any nasty surprises when the time comes to turn on your system.

You can further help your own cause out by doing a little maintenance and troubleshooting yourself. You never know when your electrical power will go out, and when it does, there won’t be time to prepare. Doing so now ensures that your generator will see you through the crisis. Here’s a brief list of tips to follow:

  • Activation and Checking. Your generator needs to be easily accessible in a crisis, to allow you to refuel it and check on its functioning, and in some cases to turn it own if it doesn’t have an automatic start-up feature. Make sure there’s an easy path to it (without having to go outside if possible), and that everyone in your family knows how to refuel it and turn it on.
  • Running. If your generator isn’t powerful enough to cover the electricity in the whole home, make sure everyone knows which appliances can be run and which ones can’t. If necessary, put tape over the power switches and hide the remote controls to make sure there are no mistakes.
  • Fuel. Make sure you know your generator’s fuel consumption rate and always keep enough fuel for at least 3-4 days on-hand, so you don’t have to go out in the middle of a crisis.
