Generator Maintenance

Fast & Friendly Service with a Smile for All

At Clinton Electric, we offer generator maintenance for homes and businesses. Just like your car motor, generators need proper maintenance. All generators require regular filter, spark plug, and oil changes to maximum their performance and ensure years of trusted service.

Clinton Electric provides remote monitoring of newly installed Generac generators free for one year. Even if you are away from home, should your generator have a problem, we will be notified in our home office.  Many times we can send a technician to diagnose a problem before you even knew it was happening.  If, during our twice yearly maintenance visits we find an issue with your unit, our manufacturer trained and certified warranty technicians and will handle filing your repair with Generac to get covered charges reimbursed. 

At Clinton Electric Company, we would be more than happy to work with you in ensuring that your generator remains at optimal performance. We can also advise on some DIY maintenance that you can do at home as well as sign you up for a preventative maintenance plan for a more detailed inspection and repair services for your generator. We are here to make the overall health of your home a top priority! If you have any questions regarding our generator maintenance service, please get in contact with us at 410-773-9797. We look forward to serving you in any way we can.

Generator Maintenance Checklist

Automatic standby generators require routine maintenance for a lasting performance and extend the lifespan. While many automatic standby generators have a shutdown when low oil pressure is detected, this is not indicative of required maintenance. Our technicians will thoroughly assess your generator to keep it in top working order.

Some simple maintenance that you can do for your generator includes:

Checking the enclosure’s louvers for dirt
Removing tall plants growing within three feet of the discharge and intake louvers
Clearing debris that has accumulated inside the enclosure
Checking connections and lines for leaks before each use
Checking oil levels after more than 24 hours of use
Using the correct oil type for the local climate in accordance with the user’s manual or guide
