Residential Generator Service FAQs
Most standby generators last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, but lifespan really depends on how often they run and how well they’re maintained. A unit that kicks on during every storm or outage will naturally see more wear than one that runs only a few times a year. With consistent service and the right setup, many homeowners get well over a decade of reliable performance before thinking about a replacement.
Most standby generators are built to turn on automatically, which means they sense the outage and fire up without you having to do anything. This feature is great for homeowners who travel often or want backup power to kick in even when no one is home. If your current setup is manual or older, we can walk you through upgrade options that make the transition to backup power smoother and far more convenient.
It depends on the generator size and how your electrical system is set up. Some homeowners want whole-home coverage, while others prefer powering only essentials like heat, refrigeration, and key lighting circuits. During an assessment, we help you decide which approach fits your home, your budget, and what matters most during an outage.
Most manufacturers recommend a short weekly or bi-weekly test run to keep the engine parts lubricated and the system ready for real use. These quick cycles help catch small issues before they become bigger ones. We can show you how to run these tests properly or handle them for you during routine maintenance visits.
Both natural gas and propane work well for residential generators, but the best choice usually comes down to what your home already has available. Natural gas is convenient because there’s no need to refill a tank, while propane is great for properties that don’t have gas lines. We walk homeowners through the pros and cons of each option so the fuel choice matches their lifestyle and reliability needs.
