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.

“Cannondale came out to fix my father’s generator and they did an amazing job for a great price! Another contractor didn’t even want to fix the generator and they told my dad it would cost $10,000 to replace it. Cannondale came out, replaced a few switches and got the generator back up and running for $700. Amazing service, fast response, I highly recommend them to anybody for the generator servicing needs.”

“Cannondale provided great service on our annual maintenance visit. The technician was quick and left the area neat. He told me what service he performed and I’m confident that we will be ready for the next power outage. I appreciate that the main office provides good communication in advance of service visits.”

Made installation of our generator extremely easy. Took care of all permitting with the town and made the process very simple. After a major power outage, they sent their service team in a snowstorm to service the generator and ensure it would keep us going throughout the snowstorm. Excellent service. Very pleased with this company.
