How to Keep Your Commercial Generator Functional and Reliable

How to Keep Your Commercial Generator Functional and Reliable

Investing in a commercial building is something most business owners view as a priority. Making sure your commercial building is safe and secured is crucial. Dealing with bad weather events is something all business owners have to do at one time or another. Keeping the power on during a hurricane or other natural disaster will require the use of a commercial generator.Ā 

Each year, consumers and business owners spend over $19 billion on new generators. If you already have a generator in place, keeping it well-maintained is important. Here are some things you can do to keep your commercial generator reliable and functional.Ā 

Getting the Right Replacement Parts

Discovering generator repair issues early on is crucial when trying to avoid damage. Catching these problems will be much easier if you hire a generator repair/maintenance technician. During these in-depth inspections, professionals will look at everything from the oil levels in your generator to the internal engine parts. If professionals discover problems with your generator, you will have to find the right parts and have them replaced immediately.Ā

Change the Oil in Your Generator

The commercial generator in your building has a number of different parts. The internal parts that help to generate electricity will need the proper amount of lubrication to function properly. This is where the oil in your generator comes into play. As time goes by, the oil in your generator will become thick. The thicker the oil gets, the harder it will be to keep moving parts lubricated.Ā 

This is why changing the oil in your generator on a regular basis is so important. The frequency at which you change the oil in your generator will depend on the type of conditions it is operating in. For instance, if your generator is operating in a dirty environment, you probably need to change the oil every 80 hours of use. Consulting with a generator maintenance professional is wise when trying to figure out the details of your maintenance schedule.Ā 

Clean and Replace Your Generatorā€™s Air Filter

Getting familiar with the different parts your commercial generator has is a great idea. Figuring out where your air filter is located is helpful. Taking the air filter out and cleaning it frequently can help you keep dirt out of your generatorā€™s motor. You will also need to replace this filter after 100 hours of operation. Working with a generator parts professional is imperative when trying to get the right filter replacement.Ā
