Why Do I Need to Get my Generator Serviced?
There are many reasons why you should get your generator serviced on an annual basis. In the event of a power outage, you want to make sure you have a backup power source ready and waiting to tackle the task at hand.
If you have a generator, chances are you have neglected it for some time, especially if you haven’t needed it. You might not know if it even works, and why would you? After all, there hasn’t been a power cut for a long time and the electricity just seems to… work.
Your business is much larger now though and the potential to earn money is far greater. This also means the potential to lose money in the event of a power cut is far greater.
Reasons Generators Break Down
There is a wide array of reasons why a generator can break down and stop working, which is why we’ve decided to outline a few of the main ones here.
Battery Failure – Battery failure is one of the main reasons why generators can
break down. If your battery is not starting, you can give our team a call today.
Contaminated Fuel – Contaminated fuel can cause your generator to become
faulty and break down. Unclean fuel can be critical to generators, so it’s important to regularly check your fuel.
Blocked Fuel Filter – A blocked fuel filter can be dangerous to your generator. If your fuel filter is blocked, it can lead to your fuel becoming contaminated and can cause your generator to break down.
Lack Of Servicing – If you do not get your generator serviced regularly, it can lead to many problems down the line, many of which are mentioned in this section.
Overuse – If you are using your generator 24/7, it needs to be serviced
approximately every 20 days. If not, it could cause serious harm to your generator resulting in lost work time and extra cost.
As you can see above, there are plenty of reasons why your generator might break down. This is also yet another reason why you should call us if you’re in need of generator repairs throughout Sunderland and the UK.

How Often Do I Need to Service my Generator?
The more regularly your generator is called into action, and the more frequently it is used the more often it needs to be serviced.
In relation to standby generators, depending on how critical your requirement, you will need to consider having it serviced and inspected periodically, although some prefer to opt for every 6 months or every 250 hours, depending on which comes first. For a small one-off cost each year, we can help to avoid any major problems further down the line.
Regardless of use, your generator should undergo regular maintenance and oil changes. Over time, additives can break down in the oil which may lead to reduced performance. Oil should be changed after every 250 – 400 hours of your generator being used depending on manufacturers recommendation to ensure years of reliability.
When it comes to service and repairs, TTS Generators is the company you can depend on to provide a value for money service. We guarantee all completed work, offering specialist support for those of you that have any questions following our routine checks and repairs.
Importance of Generator Maintenance in Sunderland
Your generator can often be left outside and forgotten about. Whether it is sheltered or out in the open, you should always remember to get it serviced. Below, we have looked at the main reasons to maintain your generator, either annually or on a more frequent basis:
The last thing you need is to find out your generator doesn’t work when there is a power outage. Regular generator maintenance will ensure you know your generator is working and will serve you well if/when the power decides to stop working.
Fuel problems can be a real problem if left untreated. Over time, algae can build up in the fuel system, fuel injectors can become clogged and batteries can die. With regular maintenance you can help to avoid such problems and stop them from permanently damaging your generator.
Although it will cost you money each time you have your generator serviced, it’s a small price to pay in comparison to the flip side. If your generator was to stop working without your realisation and the electricity was to go down too, your potential losses could be huge. Not only would you lose money as a business, you may even have to spend money replacing your generator, so it’s a wise idea to get it serviced.
Generators that aren’t serviced regularly tend to have shorter life spans than ones which are. As they can often be quite costly, it’s worth spending the money to make sure it works. A generator service will keep the system running smoothly for longer, making sure it is ready for unfortunate event of a power outage.
To achieve optimum efficiency, your generator will need to be serviced. All parts will be checked and tested, and the system will be cleaned from potentially damaging dirt, debris or algae. A more efficient system will help you to save money on diesel too, especially if the electricity is down for a prolonged period of time.
