We recommend regularly inspecting your generator(s) to look for signs it may need repair. Overall generators that are properly looked after should last for 15-20 years.
5 signs that may indicate your generator needs replacing include:
- Visible enclosure or electrical component damage.
- Your generator is slow to start or shuts down unexpectedly.
- It starts to use excessive fuel to operate.
- It is throwing out system alerts on a regular basis often creating extensive emergency repairs.
- Carbon monoxide emissions – this can be a health hazard – do not operate if carbon monoxide is detected.
At Pacific Power Solutions we can not only diagnose your old generator systems but advise the best plan moving forward regardless of whether it’s repair or replace. We also offer maintenance packages and audits to ensure you have your finger on the pulse when it comes to your most vital equipment. Contact us to book an appointment.
