Commercial Generator Repair

Generators are machines that can be used to supply buildings with electricity in the event of a power failure. Should a generator fail, however, a commercial building could face enormous risks to heating, alarm systems, ventilation and temperature control, computers and more. Repairs should be performed in a timely, efficient and diligent manner.

Considerations

• When researching commercial generator repair services, you want to make sure that the electricians hold the proper licenses and certification. They should have demonstrable expertise with the brand of units your commercial property is equipped with, and you should be sure that they can manage whatever power supplies are applicable, such as diesel, gas and natural gas.

Features

• Many services offer repairs that can be done either on-site or in their own facility. They often use these repair sessions as opportunities to train new employees as well. Repairs could mean the replacement of hoses or belts, removal of corrosion, and battery replacement. There could also be attention paid to malfunctioning electrical components. It may also be the simple act of fluid replacement--oil or antifreeze--that gets your generator up and running again.

Prevention & Solution

• One of the best methods for avoiding extensive repairs is proactive maintenance. Services frequently offer preventive-maintenance solutions where they examine the generator at regular intervals. This will enable you to avoid some emergency situations and potentially save money, such as in the defraying of the costs of repair or replacement, as well as in labor discounts or other benefits provided through the maintenance agreement.
