Taking care of your whole-generator is a smart choice! Regular maintenance ensures your system is reliable, efficient, and ready when the electrical grid isn’t. Here’s why ongoing upkeep matters:
At Keefe’s AC, Heating, Electrical, Generator, & Plumbing, we don’t just “check” your generator. We give it a full wellness check. Our trained electricians inspect every component to keep your generator in good shape.
We recommend scheduling generator maintenance at least once a year, ideally before severe weather season begins. If your home generator runs often, it may need more frequent servicing to maintain optimal performance, safety, and energy efficiency.
Skipping maintenance can lead to downtime, expensive repairs, voided warranty, or worse, failure during a power outage. Issues with the spark plug, oil, coolant, or fuel system can build up and cause serious breakdowns.
Basic upkeep like keeping your unit clean and checking for debris is fine, but most maintenance should be left to a licensed technician for your safety and warranty protection.
Most full-service maintenance appointments take 1–2 hours. We respect your time and offer efficient, thorough services so your generator is back in ready mode fast, especially before extreme temperature swings or storms hit.
Absolutely. In addition to maintenance, Keefe’s AC, Heating, Electrical, Generator, & Plumbing offers generator installation, replacement, and upgrades. We’ll assess your power needs, explain fuel options, and make sure your unit works seamlessly with your electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems.

While we handle the big stuff, there are a few simple things homeowners can do to keep their home generator in good shape between appointments.
First, check your generator weekly for any obvious signs of wear or debris. Make sure the area around your standby generator stays clear of leaves, branches, or other blockages that could limit ventilation. Monitor for puddles, rust, or any loose wires that might indicate a developing issue.
It’s also a good idea to run your generator monthly, even if there hasn’t been a power outage. This exercise cycle helps keep the engine lubricated and lets you spot any changes in sound or performance.
Keep a record of fuel levels and take note of any error codes on the control panel. For questions, reach out to Keefe’s AC, Heating, Electrical, Generator, & Plumbing. Our team is always excited to help!
