How Can Fuel Analytics Help Improve Efficiency for Austin Generators?
As we wrap up the month of May and head into the summer season, it's important to ensure your generator is prepped and ready to go in case of any power outages. With the heat picking up in the coming months, you'll want to minimize potential downtime in the event of storms or grid issues that cut electricity to your home or business.
Preventative maintenance is crucial for backup generators. Replace the fuel filters, change the engine oil and lubricants, inspect belts and hoses, check battery charge levels, ensure adequate fuel supply, test the transfer switch, run load tests, check for leaks, and examine outlets and breakers. A well-maintained generator runs smoother, lasts longer, and performs better when you need it most.
Optimizing fuel quality can also boost generator performance and efficiency. Choosing the right fuel, adding fuel stabilizers to prevent degradation, and using ultra low sulfur formulations can help. Properly storing fuel is also key to preserve quality and prevent algae or debris buildup in tanks and lines.
Following smart fueling and maintenance practices gives you confidence and peace of mind knowing your backup generator will start right up and run efficiently to power your essentials this summer and beyond.
