The Pros of Proficient Industrial Generator Maintenance and Repair

Industrial generators are a must for any business in any industry. In the event of a power outage, a generator can make sure there is a seamless transition of supplied power to keep the electricity flowing and the lights on.

Think about what would happen if a hospital, a restaurant, a grocery store, or a manufacturing company lost power and had no backup. Hospitals would lose the ability to run monitoring and life-assisting machinery and would not be able to perform (or finish) critical surgeries. Restaurants would have to send all the customers home without charging them for their meals. A grocery store could lose all of its refrigerated inventory. And a manufacturing plant would not be able to keep employees working or meet customer demands.




 

So, now that we’ve established how vital industrial generators are, let’s take a look at the pros of regular generator repair and maintenance. Industrial generator repair and maintenance is important for:


  • Detecting early problems. If a generator doesn’t work when it’s needed, it’s pretty useless. Routine inspections and maintenance by a proficient industrial generator repair company can help identify any potential problems that could occur due to wear, part failure, or fluid leaks. These issues can be repaired when spotted, instead of trying to find a repair company to come out and fix your generator when the power goes out.


  • Proper functionality. While inspecting your industrial generator, a repair technician can check the fluid and oil levels, inspect the oil filter(s), make sure the belts, hoses, lines, and connectors are all in good shape, make sure the exhaust system is working properly and check the control panel for any issues.


  • Safety. Any leaks in the exhaust system could cause serious problems with carbon monoxide poisoning. This is not only an issue that routine maintenance could diagnose, it could be potentially dangerous, even deadly, if not detected and repaired properly.


  • Efficiency. Dirt and debris can get into your generator, causing it to run less efficiently. Rodents can nest in your system and chew on wires, causing a short in the electrical system. By cleaning dirt, debris, nest, etc. from the working parts of your generator, it will run more smoothly and effectively.


  • Fuel issues. Fuel can break down over time. Checking it regularly ensures that the fuel is still viable will guarantee the generator will start up and work properly when it is needed.

  • Lifespan. Routine maintenance and repair will keep your industrial generator running the way it was designed to work, which will help to prolong its lifespan. Comparing the cost of routine maintenance versus needing to buy a new generator, routine maintenance can actually save you money over time.

 

The key is to find a maintenance and repair company that is proficient at working with industrial generators and keeping them operating at peak efficiency. Look for a company with a long history in the industry and has a great reputation for providing quality and affordable work. And, just in case, you may also want to look for a company that can provide emergency service if something does happen to take your generator offline when you need it most.
