Generator Maintenance & Service in Austin, TX

A standby generator is only worth having if it starts when you need it, and that takes regular maintenance. Like any engine, a Generac or other standby generator needs periodic service to be ready for the next outage. AC Electric services and maintains home standby generators across the Austin area, so yours is not sitting idle with a dead battery when the grid goes down. Family-owned since 1984, we keep your backup power dependable.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Generator maintenance we provide

  • Scheduled maintenance and tune-ups to keep your generator outage-ready.
  • Oil and filter changes, spark plugs, and air filters.
  • Battery testing and replacement (a dead battery is the number-one reason generators fail to start).
  • Testing the automatic transfer switch and the full start-and-transfer sequence.
  • Inspecting connections, fuel supply, and wiring.
  • Diagnosing and repairing generators that will not start or run properly.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why maintenance matters

Standby generators sit unused for months, then are asked to perform flawlessly the moment the power fails. That is exactly when a neglected unit lets you down, usually because of a dead battery, old oil, or a transfer switch that was never tested. Regular maintenance catches these problems before the outage, not during it. The whole point of a backup generator is reliability, and reliability comes from upkeep.

EXAMPLE

Many homeowners discover their generator will not start during the very storm they bought it for, almost always because of a battery or maintenance issue that a service visit would have caught.
