Reliable Maintenance for Home Standby Generators
Worry-Free Generator Performance, Year After Year
Power out? Not for you. Your backup kicks in instantly. Guaranteed.
How do you achieve that? It takes consistent home generator maintenance from a team that knows home standby generators better than anyone.
That’s where Cannondale Generators comes in.
We have home generator maintenance programs for home standby generators throughout Connecticut and New York. We’ll keep your system in peak condition and ready for anything.
Our certified technicians follow a precise schedule, so you never have to worry about missed service or system failures.
We’ve made home standby generator maintenance effortless – no home access required, no interruptions, just reliable power when it matters most.
Set It and Forget It: Automatic Generator Maintenance
Today’s standby generators are smart. They self-test, auto-start and run quietly in the background. But even the most advanced system still needs scheduled maintenance to stay in top condition.
Some homeowners prefer to manage generator maintenance themselves. But most choose Cannondale’s professional maintenance program – because it’s easier, more thorough and more reliable.
With us, maintenance is:
- Scheduled in advance
- Performed without entering your home
- Handled by certified generator technicians
- 100% worry-free
You won’t have to lift a finger or even be home when service is performed. We’ll take care of everything – quietly, cleanly and on schedule.
Quick Note: Attention to Proper Installation Matters
Our commitment to your generator’s reliability goes beyond regular maintenance – we also emphasize the importance of proper installation.
Over the years, we’ve encountered quite a few home generators installed by other companies that unfortunately don’t meet safety codes or manufacturer guidelines.
We often get called to repair home generators installed by other companies. In our years of experience, about 1 in 4 generators are not installed up to code. Common issues we see include:
- Generac units blocked by fences
- Generators placed just a foot away from windows
- Units installed too close to fuel sources
These situations create serious safety hazards and impact the generator’s ability to perform reliably when needed.
At Cannondale Generators, we don’t cut corners. We make sure every installation and maintenance job is done right the first time.
Why Routine Generator Maintenance Matters
Research shows that over 25% of generator failures are due to skipped or incomplete maintenance. Your generator might run during a test, but that doesn’t mean it will run well, or at all, under full load during an outage.
With our maintenance service, you reduce the risk of:
- Emergency failures
- Long repair wait times
- Warranty violations
- Fuel system degradation
- Electrical system wear
Our maintenance program ensures your standby generator will be ready when you need it most – without the hassle of tracking service intervals yourself.
Our 2-Level Generator Maintenance Program
Our structured maintenance plan for home standby generators includes two types of visits each year, giving you consistent performance without unnecessary costs.
Level 1: Extensive Annual Maintenance (75-Point Service)
Performed once per year, this service includes:
✔️ A complete inspection of all mechanical and electrical systems
✔️ Oil and filter changes
✔️ Spark plug and air filter replacement (as needed)
✔️ Battery check and load test
✔️ Fuel system inspection
✔️ Transfer switch testing
✔️ System firmware check (if applicable)
✔️ Lubricants, coolants, and other fluids (charged at market rate)
This is a thorough, hands-on visit that helps catch small issues before they become major problems.
Level 2: Semi-Annual Maintenance Inspection (10-Point Service)
Scheduled six months after your Level 1 service, this lighter checkup includes:
✔️ Operational testing
✔️ Battery check
✔️ Code/error scan
✔️ Quick review of vital components
This balanced two-visit schedule helps keep your generator efficient without unnecessary disruption or cost.
