How GEM Keeps Your Generator Ready for Outages

Generator maintenance helps ensure your system is ready to perform safely and reliably.

GEM’s electricians provide thorough, proactive service designed to keep your generator prepared when it matters most.

We inspect your generator and surrounding components for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. This helps identify potential issues before they impact performance.

Proper fluid levels are essential for reliable operation. During service, we check engine oil, inspect the oil filter, and verify your coolant and other key fluids so your generator is ready to run when needed.

A weak or failing battery is one of the most common causes of generator failure, which is why we test your battery and inspect connections to help ensure dependable starts.

We review electrical connections and inspect the transfer switch for proper operation, ensuring power transitions safely and smoothly during an outage.

We run your generator to confirm it starts correctly and operates as designed. This performance test helps verify readiness under real-world conditions.

After service, we explain our findings in plain language and provide honest recommendations. You’ll know exactly how your generator is performing and what steps can help keep it reliable.

Ayden is a credit to your GEM team he was pleasant and very knowledgeable.
Geat job with our fall check up for our mini splits, tankless water heater and boiler!!! This was all included in my annual maintenance contract.
Excellent service. They had to come back several times, but finally found the problem – a nail pinching the wire under the wood frame that was put in by Renewal by Anderson. The door bell finally works. Thank you Eric for taking care of it and offering suggestions and to the Handyman( I did not get his name) for putting the molding back on. Carlton & Elaine Windle service and he answered all my questions. He went above and beyond even gluing my sagging insulation back in place and updated all the software. My General Generator is good to go. Thank you Isaac.- Carlton & Elaine Windle

We had a leak in the feed tube going into our toilet. It leaked down through the ceiling into our kitchen. I called GEM and they sent technicians right out to fix the problem. The technicians arrived, assessed the problem and gave us a very reasonable quote. The technician also noticed veteran plates on my car and applied a 10% discount! They fixed the problem, noticed that the feed tubes to my sink didn't look good and corrected them as well. Both technicians were very personable and kind. They helped lower our anxiety as well. Great experience! Highly recommend GEM plumbing!

Two great gentlemen (Brandon and Maxwell) came to my house to fix a leaking faucet. They explain all the questions from me and wife. They even give nice advice about reglazing the sink. Due to the distance between the cabinet and the sink, they tried very hard to find the best possible solution for us and install a new faucet. It is a wonderful job!! Highly recommended!!
The GEM service technicians showed up promptly. They were quick and efficient with their service. They had good recommendations and were very cordial. I would call on them again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Generator Maintenance

What happens during a generator maintenance visit?

An electrician checks the generator, looks over the fluids and battery, tests how it runs, and reviews the electrical connections. Maintenance may also include inspecting components such as spark plugs and filters to ensure reliable operation. After the visit, you’ll receive clear feedback along with any recommendations for keeping your generator ready for the next outage.

How often should my generator be professionally maintained?

Most residential generators should be professionally maintained once a year. Annual service allows electricians to inspect components, test operation, and address wear before problems develop. Regular maintenance helps support reliable and safe performance during outages.

Why is generator maintenance important if my generator hasn’t been used?

Generators can develop problems even when they are not running. Batteries can weaken, fluids can degrade, and electrical components can deteriorate over time. Maintenance ensures your generator is prepared to start and operate properly during a power outage.

Can generator maintenance help prevent startup failures?

Routine maintenance helps reduce common causes of startup failure. GEM electricians check batteries, inspect connections, and evaluate components that affect starting performance. This improves reliability when the generator is needed during an outage.

Does GEM service all types of residential generators?

GEM services most residential generator systems, including permanently installed units and some portable generators. Our electricians evaluate the generator and electrical connections during maintenance visits. Service is then tailored to the specific equipment installed at your home.
