Generator maintenance plan for Vermont homes
Your standby generator is your insurance against power outages. Like any engine, it needs regular maintenance to start reliably and run safely. We provide annual generator service following manufacturer specifications — oil change, filters, battery test, transfer switch check, and load test.
A generator that won't start is just a noisy box
The most common reason generators fail during an outage is lack of maintenance. Stale fuel, dead batteries, clogged filters, and corroded connections all prevent your generator from starting when you need it most.
Annual maintenance following manufacturer specifications keeps your generator ready. We service Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins, and other major brands.
Vermont's long heating season and frequent winter storms make generator reliability critical. Don't wait until the power goes out to find out your generator won't start.
