Winter is coming, and with it comes chances for power outages. Our local Centre City/Uptown wants businesses and residents to be prepared for power outages. A backup generator in good working order can prevent food from spoiling and keep your lights on when a power outage occurs.

Here are some tips from the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety for maintaining and servicing your generator:

The time to maintain a generator is well before a major storm or disaster strikes. Backup power can help maintain a consistent building temperature and reduce the risk of freezing pipes leading to business disruption and damage. 

Permanent

  • Permanent generators should have a proper maintenance plan that includes weekly, monthly, and annual checks. See the manufacturer’s specifications for more information.  
  • Run the unit on its maintenance plan weekly to ensure it properly functions in an emergency. Individual units may have a timer that allows a programmed test to be scheduled, and qualified personnel should oversee these scheduled weekly tests.  
  • Check the generator enclosure for loose debris or other conditions that could cause the unit not to function correctly.  

Portable 

  • Store in a dry location
  • Set up a maintenance schedule to include periodic test runs for the unit
