Generator Service
Gager & Sons Power Systems provides routine generator service and maintenance to keep standby systems reliable when you need them most. Regular service helps prevent no-start issues, transfer problems, and surprise failures during an outage.

- Exercise cycle and run test verification

Why routine maintenance matters
Standby generators sit for long periods and are expected to work instantly. Service keeps fuel, battery, and control systems in check so the unit starts, transfers, and runs clean under load. We also keep detailed maintenance records for warranty claim as needed.

How often should a standby generator be serviced?
Most standby generators need routine service at least once per year, but the real answer depends on your run time, fuel type, environment, and what the manufacturer recommends for your specific model. If your generator has been running during outages, it’s smart to schedule service soon after so fluids, filters, and wear items can be checked and replaced as needed.
If you’re not sure what your generator needs, contact us and we’ll recommend a schedule based on your system and how it’s used. We serve Medusa, NY and the Capital District. View our Service Area.
