Signs You Need Generator Replacement

Aging generators typically give off signs when something isn’t operating as it should. We recommend replacing your system before this happens, so it’s important to pay close attention to the signs that your system is failing.

If you notice any of these, we recommend contacting our team to schedule generator replacement:

• Age: Depending on the system, standby generators have an anticipated lifespan of 10,000 to 30,000 operational hours. Always monitor your system to determine whether you’re close to the upper end of the estimated range for the generator.
• Increasing repair frequency and cost: This is a common sign that the generator is nearing the end of its serviceable life. If the cost of a repair exceeds 50% of the replacement cost at any point, it’s usually better to replace the unit.
• It’s undersized: If you’ve built an addition or added new appliances such as an EV charging station, large freezer, etc., your generator may no longer satisfy your current power requirements.

Other signs can indicate a critical failure. These include:

• Odd noises: This problem can indicate component failure, such as an alternator or belt.
• Fuel or coolant leaks: These can lead to fires, explosions, or toxic exposures, so they require immediate attention.
• Failure to start: This issue can point to problems with the ignition system, battery, or electrical components.
• Warning lights or alarms: Warning alerts can include high temperature, low oil pressure, battery issues, etc.
• Smoke: Excessive smoke can point to improper combustion, burning insulation, or burning electrical wiring.
