Winter generator maintenance is critical to ensure reliable power. At NASR GENERATORS, we know how essential this is—especially during the cold winter season when unexpected outages can have serious consequences for homes, businesses, and industries. Preventive maintenance and timely service of your generator are the keys to ensuring it performs at its best when you need it most.
Why Winter Generator Maintenance Matters
Cold weather places extra strain on generator systems. Without proper checks, even a minor issue can lead to breakdowns and costly downtime. Routine servicing before winter helps to:
- Extend the lifespan of your generator
- Improve efficiency and performance
- Prevent emergency repairs during peak demand
- Ensure uninterrupted power during storms or blackouts
Key Areas to Check Before Winter
Antifreeze Coolant System
Inspect the cooling system and fill it with the proper antifreeze mix mix to prevent freezing and overheating. Neglecting this step could result in severe engine damage.
Water Heater System
A properly functioning water heater (jacket water heater) ensures the engine stays warm and starts easily in cold weather. It should be tested and serviced ahead of the season.
Fuel System
Fuel filters, tanks, and lines should be cleaned and inspected for leaks or blockages. Winter-grade fuel or additives may be needed to prevent gelling in low temperatures.
Battery & Charging System
Cold weather reduces battery capacity. Testing and replacing weak batteries, along with checking chargers, guarantees reliable starting power.
Lubrication & Oil
Inspect the oil and replace it with the appropriate winter grade for winter operation to reduce engine wear and ensure smooth performance.
Control Panel & Safety Devices
Test all electrical controls, sensors, and safety shutdown systems to avoid surprises when the generator is called into service.
General Inspection
Examine belts, hoses, the exhaust system, and insulation to detect any wear or weakness before temperatures drop.
