Why is Regular Maintenance Important for Generac Generators?
Regular maintenance for your backup home generator is important to keep it running when you need it and adds life to the generating system, so you get a longer life and value out of your backup power system. It helps identify and address potential issues before they become major problems, increasing the longevity of your generator and providing you with peace of mind.
​
The benefits of regular maintenance include:
​
-
Increased reliability during power outages
-
Extended generator lifespan
-
Improved fuel efficiency
-
Reduced risk of unexpected breakdowns
-
Compliance with manufacturer warranty requirements
How Often Should I Schedule Maintenance
for My Generac Generator?
All backup home generators require periodic maintenance, such as oil, battery, and filter changes, to make sure they perform when needed for years of reliable service. Generac recommends you have your unit serviced every 6-12 months by an authorized Generac service dealer. Failure to complete regular maintenance can void your warranty. Unity Services can help you create a customized maintenance schedule based on your specific needs.
* 1 year or 200 hours per oil change, whichever comes first.
NOTE: If the unit reaches a Schedule A or Schedule B maintenance interval with 900 to 999 total hours, have an IASD
perform the Schedule C maintenance tasks as well (and reset the A-B-C/Year maintenance schedule counter).
