Do generators require maintenance?
Yes. Regular generator maintenance is important to ensure your system works properly during a power outage. Maintenance typically includes checking oil levels, inspecting batteries, replacing filters, testing the system, and ensuring all components are operating safely. Routine service helps extend the life of your generator and reduces the risk of failure during storms or emergencies.
What is the difference between portable and standby generators?
Portable generators are temporary units that require manual setup and typically power only a few appliances or circuits. Standby generators are permanently installed outside the home and automatically restore power during an outage. Whole house standby generators provide a more reliable and seamless backup power solution for New Jersey homes.
