Generator Service & Maintenance Q&A with Prime Energy Solutions

Maintenance Programs and Scheduling

Why is regular maintenance important for a standby generator?

Regular maintenance is crucial to prolong the lifespan of your generator, ensure it runs at optimum efficiency, and guarantee it will start reliably when a power outage occurs. Preventative service identifies minor issues before they lead to major failures.


Does Prime Energy Solutions offer formal maintenance plans?

Yes, they offer service and maintenance plans to simplify generator ownership. Customers on these plans often receive priority service during large-scale power outages, which is a significant benefit during storm season in South Louisiana.


How often should I have my generator serviced?

Prime Energy Solutions, following industry recommendations, generally suggests having your standby generator professionally serviced every six months to a year. Specific schedules may vary based on generator brand (e.g., Kohler, Generac) and usage.


Does a new generator installation include any maintenance?

Yes. Prime Energy Solutions typically provides one year of continued maintenance for all new generator installations, demonstrating their commitment to long-term reliability for their customers.

Scope of Maintenance Services

What is included in a comprehensive generator maintenance visit?

While the exact scope can vary, a thorough preventative maintenance service generally includes:
  • Full System Inspection: Checking the generator for wear, corrosion, and loose connections.
  • Fluid Changes: Checking and changing the oil and oil filter as needed.
  • Filter Replacement: Inspecting and replacing the air filter and potentially fuel filters.
  • Battery Testing: Checking the battery's voltage and terminals to prevent startup failure.
  • Cooling System Check: Inspecting coolant levels, hoses, and belts.
  • Test Run: Running the generator, often simulating an outage, to ensure it operates correctly under load.


Does Prime Energy Solutions service generators they did not install?

Yes. Their technicians have the expertise to troubleshoot, service, and maintain generators of various makes and models, including the major brands like Generac, Kohler, and Champion.


Do I need to be home for the maintenance appointment?
