Not only does this set a timer on things like the contents of your fridge or freezer but can also knock out important elements of your home like your furnace, sump pump or water heater. Having a generator ready to go and expertly connected can be the difference between throwing out hundreds of dollars of food, a flooded basement or even a warm shower.

4 Signs It's Time For A New Generator

Generators have a lifespan just like everything else. There are certain things to look out for when a generator is getting older. Some signs it's time for a new generator are:

  • Problems Starting Up - The first and most common sign of a generators age is difficulty starting up. Generators are designed to automatically start up when a home loses power. If your generator does not turn on immediately, or is slow to the start, it's possible your generator is at the end of the line.
  • Faltering Appliances - When the generator is running, if you notice the appliances or lights fixed to it aren't getting a steady flow of electricity this is another sign of a generators age. If you notice your lights flickering or appliances having a hard time staying on, your generator can no longer run at full capacity.
  • Lots of Fuel Usage - If your generator is burning more fuel than usual to work properly, then it is past it's prime and time for an upgrade. Similar to a vehicle, a generator's efficiency diminishes over time and eats up more fuel to function at normal levels. By continuing to let it run at this point is just costing you more money in fuel in the long run.
  • Constant Repairs - If a generator is constantly breaking down and needs regular repairs, it's probably time to invest in a brand new one. In the long run a new generator installation would be cheaper than keeping an old generator alive with constant repairs.
