We’ve already covered how Megawattage can improve your business with reliable energy, now let’s take it to the next level. Once you have a reliable commercial generator for your business, you’ll want to keep it running smoothly. Here are five maintenance tips to ensure that your power stays uninterrupted.
1. Inspect Your Equipment
You’re on site at your own business regularly so you are the perfect first line of defense in detecting issues early on, before they become detrimental. Some things to look for that may alert you that your commercial generator needs professional servicing:
- – Loose connections
- – Visible damage
- – Visible leaks
- – Corrosion
If any of the above are detected, call us for assistance 24/7: (954) 328-0232.
2. Avoid Overheating
A common reason for generator malfunction is overheating. Ensure this is a non-issue by checking periodically that cooling fans are free of debris and that coolant levels are maintained.
3. Polish Your Fuel
Stale or contaminated fuel can cause big problems and is, in fact, one of the main reasons engines fail prematurely. Regular fuel polishing can help avoid costly repairs. Unlucky for Miami-Dade business, where weather can be extreme, contamination can occur if the tank is exposed to extreme heat for a prolonged period of time. Luckily, Megawattage offers a diesel fuel polishing service to effectively remove water, algae, and other contaminants from fuel.
4. Load Bank Testing
Conducting a load bank test ensures your generator can handle full capacity when needed. This simple test can work wonders in prolonging the lifespan of your equipment and preventing untimely performance deterioration.
