Annual Service

What standby generator service includes

A Lakes Region standby unit sits outside through winters and lake-effect storms, then has to start on the coldest night of the year. We service the systems we install, and we take on units other companies put in, including lake houses around Winnipesaukee and Squam Lake. Bring the brand, model, and any service history when you get in touch.

  • Annual service: oil, filters, plugs, and air filter
  • Battery testing and replacement
  • Load testing and exercise-cycle verification
  • Transfer switch inspection
  • Repairs on units we did not install

Questions

Common questions about generator service

How often should a standby generator be serviced?

Most manufacturers recommend professional service about once a year, and more often if the unit runs through long outages. We set a schedule from the model, the hours on the meter, and how hard the last winter was on it.

Do you service generators you did not install?

Yes. We take on annual service, load testing, and repairs for standby generators regardless of who installed them. Call or text 603-619-8875 with the brand and model and we will tell you plainly whether it is worth servicing or worth replacing.

What does an annual generator service include?

Oil, filters, plugs, and the air filter, plus battery testing, load testing, exercise-cycle verification, and a look at the transfer switch. We write up what we find before we recommend parts or follow-up work.

Can you service a generator at a lake house or seasonal home?

Yes. Empty houses around Lake Winnipesaukee and Squam Lake are a large part of the work. A unit that self-tests still needs oil, filters, and a battery that will hold a charge when nobody is in the state.

When should I call for a repair instead of waiting for annual service?

Call when the unit fails a self-test, will not start, throws a fault code, or sounds wrong under load. Same-day response during business hours when the schedule allows. Do not wait for the next annual visit if the generator is already telling you something is wrong.
