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.

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.
