Generator Maintenance in Plymouth, MA
Keep Your Standby Power System Running Strong with Nipper Electric
Investing in a home generator is one of the smartest moves a family can make for safety and comfort. However, like any major system within the home, it must be taken care of properly to continue performing at its best. No matter what type of generator you have at home, standby, portable, or commercial, routine maintenance will keep your system in readiness when the need arises.
Nipper Electric provides complete generator maintenance services for home and business owners in Plymouth, MA, and the surrounding areas. Our licensed technicians inspect, service, and test your generator to ensure it’s in top condition so it’s always ready to kick in when the power goes out.
Why Generator Maintenance Matters
Your generator works hard during emergencies, and to provide power to your refrigerator, HVAC system, sump pump, and medical equipment requires maintenance when needed. But even so, the weapon’s components are still subjected to the environment and deterioration, and the fuel is still being used, even though it’s not used. Minor issues can snowball into major failures without regular maintenance — when you need backup power the most.
Regular care does more than stop breakdowns. It also keeps your machine’s life longer, keeps you safe, and holds on to any maker promises. At Nipper Electric, our checks for the generator are made to find issues early on, make sure it works well, and give you comfort during storm times or any sudden loss.
Common Generator Problems We Can Prevent
Whether you’ve owned it for several years or just purchased a new one, proper maintenance is the only way to attain optimum performance and longevity. Nipper Electric offers one-time tune-ups, annual plans, and continual service for home or business to keep unexpected outages at bay.
Low Coolant Levels: If your generator is running hot or shutting down unexpectedly, it could be due to a coolant leak or a clogged radiator. We’ll check and top off fluids as part of every tune-up.
- Battery Failures: Dead batteries are one of the top reasons generators fail to start. We test voltage, clean terminals, and replace batteries if needed.
- Wet Stacking: Over-fueling or extended idling can build up unburned fuel and soot in the exhaust system. Regular load testing helps prevent this damaging condition.
- Block Heater Wear: These heaters run continuously in standby units and may burn out or become inefficient. We’ll inspect and replace them if needed.
- Air in Fuel Lines: If your generator hasn’t run, air can enter the fuel system and block injector performance. Routine operation and inspections keep this from becoming an issue.
- Low Fuel or Fuel Degradation: Whether it’s diesel, propane, or natural gas, we’ll ensure your fuel system is clean and topped off.
- Tripped Breakers: If your generator isn’t supplying power, it may be as simple (or dangerous) as a tripped breaker. We’ll test and reset it safely — never attempt to do this yourself without proper training.
