Living in Hendry County means being ready for hurricanes and power outages. Nothing makes you more prepared than a backup home generator. However, generator maintenance is crucial in ensuring reliable performance. While we always suggest calling a professional at GenerX, some people prefer DIY maintenance. Today, we go over some generator maintenance tips to keep your Hendry County home up and running all the time.

Check Your Generators Fluids

The first generator maintenance tip is to check your fluids. Home backup generators need a variety of fluids to run smoothly, the two most important ones being oil and coolant. When you inspect your oil with the dipstick, check for contaminants, dark coloring, and the level it’s at. Checking your coolant is a lot easier. To prevent the generator in your Clewiston home from overheating, make sure your coolant is at an adequate level and top it up as needed.

Replace the Air Filter

The air filter in your backup home generator helps keep contaminants out of the engine. Over time, your air filter will get clogged with contaminants. If you notice a drop in performance and heavy build up, it’s time to change it out.

Clean Around the Generator

Your backup home generator needs room to “breathe.” To help it, clear the area around your Felda home generator of any dust, dirt, and debris so that it has enough space. Doing this ensures your generator has proper airflow. This also helps to prevent, or minimize, the amount of contaminants that get inside your home backup generator’s system.
