Generator Maintenance
Generator Maintenance in New Jersey
In today’s world, we rely on electronics more than ever, which is why so many home and business owners have invested in generators to help keep their important equipment powered up. Unfortunately, without regular generator maintenance, these units might not be ready to go when you need them most. For over 45 years, those throughout New Jersey have relied upon the expert mechanics and technicians at Corbin Electrical Services, Inc. to help keep these intricate units up and running.
Residential and Commercial Generator Maintenance
Generators are often needed most during storms and other harsh conditions, so the last thing you want is to realize that something is wrong with your unit after it’s too late. Having your residential or commercial generator inspected by a professional at least once a year can help ensure it’s operational and safe to use.
Generator brands like Generac, Cummins, Kohler, Honeywell, and Briggs & Stratton offer many different models. Therefore, those performing generator checkups will need to be well-versed in their components and functions. At Corbin Electrical Services, Inc., we have plenty of factory-trained experts on staff who are familiar with different models and types of generators.
Residential Generators
While you may be tempted to look over your generator by yourself, there are a lot of parts to assess, and missing anything can result in a dangerous situation. Professional electricians can inspect all aspects of the unit and diagnose any problems they find. They also benefit from having the technology and equipment needed to run tests, which is something most homeowners don’t have access to. Because generators operate with fossil fuels, it’s imperative to check carbon monoxide levels and ensure proper ventilation.
Commercial Generators
These units work similarly to residential ones, but they are designed to offer a higher power output, making them more dangerous if you try to troubleshoot on your own. Because commercial generators may have more parts to check and test, diagnosing problems may be more challenging. Our skilled professionals will be by your side should any problems arise. Our team will ensure that anyone who may be tasked with operating the equipment knows how to do so safely.
Generator Maintenance Checklist
Regardless of whether we are performing maintenance on a residential unit or a commercial one, there are many items on our generator maintenance services checklist, including:
- Assessing all wiring and components
- Cleaning and tightening bolts and connections
- Changing engine oil
- Replacing filters

These checkups are a great way for our technicians to diagnose any issues you may have been experiencing or identify small problems before they become a real issue. Because we only use factory-authorized parts and send out factory-trained mechanics, our customers can trust in our process and the results.
Monitor Backup Generators Remotely
If the power goes out while you’re at home or the office, you can quickly start up your generator and ensure critical electrical appliances are up and running in an instant. However, what about when you’re not on-site? Fortunately, Corbin Electrical Services, Inc. offers customers with Generac power generators the opportunity to monitor them via Mobile Link dealer-managed Wi-Fi connectivity.
This convenient feature allows you to check in on the condition and status of your unit right from your smart device using the Mobile Link mobile app. It lets you know if your generator is ready for use, in use, ready to run but needing maintenance, or in need of immediate service. Free service comes standard with all 2019 Guardian Series and new Generac standby generators. However, customers can opt for Active Service, which includes active notifications regarding your unit, access to its maintenance history and schedules, and even lets you see the local weather, helping you plan ahead.
