Industrial generators are very well-used power sources, and if they aren’t looked after, they will begin to wear out fast. Regular maintenance and generator servicing will ensure your unit continues to operate according to your workplace’s needs. Whether powering small tools or heavy-duty machinery, a well-maintained generator will continue to work at full capacity- you won’t have to worry about constant breakdowns or replacements!

At D&R Generators, we provide industry-grade generator servicing to worksites across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories. Below, we’ll go over a few reasons why regular generator maintenance is so important and why our expert technicians are the best choice for these services. Keep reading!

Ensures Reliability and Performance

Companies in the oil and gas, construction, and large-level commercial sectors require generators to complete projects and keep their worksites running day-to-day. If your generator isn’t inspected and maintained regularly, it can slowly begin to wear down. You may begin to see issues with the engine speed, the cooling system, fluid and oil levels, the exhaust system, and several other components necessary for the generator to run at top performance. A certified technician will inspect these and other accessories of your generator during every maintenance visit to ensure its reliability during worksite operations.

Extends Generator’s Lifespan

If your generator isn’t regularly serviced, this can seriously deplete its lifespan, regardless of its high quality. Industrial generators are an investment, especially if you purchased your current unit over opting for rental. The more you look after your generator, the longer you’ll be able to use it and the better return you’ll get on your investment. In addition to regular generator servicing, you can increase your unit’s lifespan by following its shutdown schedule, which allows it to rest from all the machines and equipment it powers on a daily basis.

Creates a Safe Work Environment

High-powered machines like generators can be a safety hazard if they aren’t properly maintained. If the internal combustion engine is left unattended, the exhaust from diesel generators can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Fuel leakage is another potential hazard that can cause the generator to combust and explode, which poses a severe risk for your on-site workers.

During routine maintenance, one of our technicians will position the generator to prevent fumes from escaping indoors and contaminating your workspace. In between services, you can help maintain the safety of your combustion engine by cleaning it regularly.
