To avoid some of the common home generator issues, here are some tips for maintaining your generator:
- Keep bushes and grasses trimmed away from generators
- Be sure landscapers do not put mulch right up against the generator so as not to get mulch sucked into air intakes and block air flow.
- In the fall, be sure that leaves are cleared away from the generator to avoid possibility of fire.
- In the winter, be sure snow is not allowed to build up to a height that would cover the generator.
- Never build any enclosures or covers over or around the generator that will impede airflow and cause overheating in summer time.
- Be sure to have a regular preventative maintenance program.
