Standby Power Generator Maintenance

Commander Power Systems knows that the best way to keep a power generator running at its peak is to provide routine standby power generator maintenance at least once per year. A standby power generator is like a car engine. Most people have their car serviced at least every 3,000 miles. A standby power generator will typically exercise once a week, which is equivalent to running the engine inside the generator for 3,000 miles each year. That is why our Standby Power Generator Maintenance Agreements include a full tune up each year, as well as a secondary inspection to ensure your equipment is running at it’s peak efficiency year round.
