SERVICES OVERVIEW:

Every installation has specific requirements that need to be met for proper & safe function of Guardian™ or HomeStandby™ generator systems.  We offer consulting, installation, maintenance & monitoring services for your home or business that will ensure years of trouble free operation.

CONSULTING:  During this phase, we will survey the installation site and help you decide which Generac™ system will best suit your application.  Each machine has specific requirements in regards to location, cooling and fuel supply.  We will address each of these issues and arrange for proper installation.

INSTALLATION:  Generators must meet certain criteria to validate the manufacturer's warranty.   We will certify the installation, perform the 'start up proceedure' and then service the unit after it's break-in time.   Although Generac™ generators are available in local stores, consumer-installed units are often incorrect resulting in malfunction, damage to the unit or voiding of warranty. 

MAINTENANCE:  Scheduled maintenance and repair should always be performed by factory trained & qualified technicians.  Attempting to maintain or repair your generator system may often result in personal injury, damage to the machine or your home and will likely void the warranty.  Please view the service schedule listed below for more information.  The maintenance inspection contains tasks which require special tools, equipment, and/or knowledge and should be performed only by an authorized Generac Service Dealer. 

MONITORING:    The concept of Monitoring the engine exists with the Home owner's responsibility of owning and maintaining the machine.  We are currently developing & researching a monitoring system that will assist or relieve the owner of this task.

SERVICE SCHEDULE:  The following is a recommended maintenance schedule for Generac small standby and residential generator sets.  The established intervals in the schedule are the maximum recommended when the unit is used in an average service application.  They will need to be performed more frequently if the unit is used in a severe application.  Use the unit hour meter or calendar time, whichever occurs first, from the previous maintenance interval to determine the next required maintenance interval.
