Is Your Generator in Good Shape?

A generator is a great emergency power supply when you lose other energy sources. To ensure your generator will be there when you need it, occasionally check the indicator light to make sure it is in Green and ready to run as opposed to a Red indicator which means there is a fault or problem which will keep it from running when you need it.


Make sure you do the following if you suspect any issues.

Make Sure It Can Consistently Start

There are some simple reasons your generator might fail to start, such as low fuel or oil. A poor battery might also be a simple cause of the problem. If you suspect any of these issues there may be electrical or mechanical problem. You’ll need a qualified electrician / Generator technician to check the Generator and diagnose the underlying problem before you lose power and to ensure your Generator runs when you need it most.

Have an Electrician Check for the Cause of Poor Power Flow

Some causes of poor power include a Generator which has not been maintained or an insufficient fuel supply. These issues relate to the unit’s smooth operation, so you will need a qualified Technician to correct the problem.


Get a Leak Diagnosed Right Away

A generator motor runs similar to any type of motor in that it relies on lubricant, coolant, and fuel. Over time, a cracked hose or a faulty gasket can lead to a leak. Look for fluids collecting around the generator, and if you see one, contact Anderson Electric Corp. for a checkup.Our Certified technicians will know how to check the hoses and gaskets  for leaks.


Watch for Signs of Physical Damage
