In a word: yes. Although you don’t use your generator often (at least, we hope you don’t need to rely on it often), you want to ensure that it will work when you need it to. After all, if you can’t trust your backup generator, it doesn’t serve much purpose!
The difficulty when it comes to generator maintenance is that people often let their generators slip from their minds. When you don’t rely on an appliance on a regular basis, like your HVAC system, plumbing, and electrical system, it can get pushed to the back of your priority list. We wrote this blog to change that and get the maintenance moved to the front of that list. Allowing your generator to go without maintenance for several years can mean the generator won’t rise to the occasion when the occasion arises.
