A generator is an engine that needs service
Your standby generator is a motorized piece of equipment, a lot like a lawn mower: it runs on an engine, and it needs regular maintenance to stay at peak performance. Many homeowners do not realize that, and some have gone five years or more without a service visit. West Michigan Generator keeps your unit maintained so it starts the moment the power goes out.
Why maintenance matters
Oil breaks down, batteries weaken, and filters clog whether the generator runs often or not. A skipped oil change or a tired battery is one of the most common reasons a standby unit fails to start during an outage, exactly when you are counting on it. Regular service keeps the warranty intact and the engine ready.
Our maintenance packages
We offer two maintenance packages so you can pick the level of coverage that fits your home. Every visit includes a full preventative service: oil and filter change, battery and electrical check, and a running test to confirm the unit starts and transfers under load. We send reminder postcards so you never have to track the schedule yourself.
- Oil, filter, and spark plug replacement with genuine parts
- Battery test and electrical inspection (a standby battery typically lasts five to seven years)
- Running and transfer test under load
- Reminder postcards so service never slips
Because fuel and parts costs move with the market, we quote maintenance pricing directly rather than list it here. Give us a call and we will walk you through the options.
Service for the generators we install
Our factory-trained, field-tested technicians service the Briggs & Stratton and Generac units we sell and install across West Michigan. If you already own a generator and are not sure when it was last serviced, reach out and we will get you back on a schedule.
