Here in Texas, we count on our generators more than ever once summer starts. Between extreme heat, rolling blackouts and the start of hurricane season, your standby generator needs to be ready to perform.
We’ve serviced hundreds of Generac systems in this area and let me tell you, most emergency calls could have been avoided with simple maintenance ahead of time.
Our Generator wellness Checklist
Whether you’re in Cypress, Katy, or Houston, here’s what I recommend checking every summer:
✅ Oil level and oil quality
✅ Battery voltage and connection condition
✅ Air filter cleanliness
✅ Fuel lines and pressure
✅ Test run with load simulation
✅ Error codes or blinking lights on the control panel
✅ Cooling and exhaust vents for dust or leaves
✅ Wiring integrity inside the panel
✅ Transfer switch functionality
✅ Last service date
A generator is only useful if it works when you need it. Don’t leave that to chance. We are here to make sure your system is ready before the next storm, not after. Book your maintenance visit today and let’s keep your power on when it matters most.

Tip from the Field
We always recommend you to set up your Generac monitoring App and to check if the weekly exercise is happening without fault, don’t just “hear it turn on.”
Make sure it’s really carrying the load it’s supposed to.
