Signs You Need a New Standby Generator For Your Business

It is essential to keep the generator for your building running smoothly. Unfortunately, a generator may develop problems as it gets older, so it’s important to spot any signs of trouble before it breaks down completely.

Starter Issues

If your generator is having trouble starting up, it’s time to call in the professionals. A healthy generator should start easily without signaling any problems with the power supply. If you’re noticing the power faltering at start up, your generator may need a new transfer switch.

High Fuel Usage

If your generator is using more fuel than usual, it could be a sign that something is wrong. A generator should only use as much fuel as it needs to work properly. If you notice it using more fuel without cause, your generator may be in need of repairs or replacement.

Appliances Not Working

Another sign of trouble is when your electrical appliances start acting up. As a generator gets older, it may supply a more uneven flow of electricity. This can lead to power surges, which can cause your appliances to stop working properly.

Commercial Generator FAQ

What Is a Commercial Generator?

A commercial generator is a generator that’s used to provide standby power for a business. It differs from a home generator in its size and fuel needs. These generators usually run on diesel fuel and need a fuel tank that can be filled up when it’s low. Industrial generators work like commercial generators but are made to handle tough conditions in industrial settings. They typically need additional components for controlling flow and filtering fuel.

How Often Should I Service My Generator?

Most generator brands recommend you have your commercial generator serviced every 500 hours of use, or once every 6-12 months. The frequency of maintenance may vary depending on the size of your space and the age of the generator.

Older generators may require more frequent service and repairs. Regular maintenance helps ensure your generator functions properly and decreases the risk of power outages during emergencies.

What is a Standby Generator?

Businesses often use standby generators to quickly restore power during outages. These generators automatically start up when power is lost, thanks to a transfer switch. This switch shifts the electrical load to the generator instead of the grid, helping your building regain power. Investing in a standby generator can be a dependable way to keep your business running smoothly.
