Have you made the wise decision to buy a standby generator to protect your home and your possessions, save money and make your life easier in case the power goes out? If so, good for you. When you bought it, did you also take out a standby generator maintenance plan? If so, good for you. If not, you may want to consider one because for just a few hundred dollars a year it can provide.
- Reliability. A maintained generator is less likely to fail in case of a power outage.
- Savings by avoiding damage. If your standby generator fails, the resulting damage can be quite costly. You avoid that with a properly serviced generator.
- Savings by avoiding costly repairs. A maintenance check can identify small problems that can be fixed, avoiding major and more expensive repairs.
- Increased home security. Ensuring your generator is always fully functional means your alarm systems, outdoor lighting and security cameras are always functioning.
- Efficiency. A properly maintained generator will run more efficiently, reducing wear and tear on the unit as well as the amount of fuel consumed.
