How often should I change the oil in my standby generator?

Change your standby generator’s oil on the schedule in your owner’s manual. Intervals vary by brand, run hours, and fuel type, so a technician should confirm it during maintenance. We install and service portable and whole-house generators and provide ongoing support after installation. Heavy outage use in areas like Harrison, NY may shorten intervals. We follow a clear process: consult, assess, estimate, install, final inspection, and support.

Quick checks:

• Check oil level monthly and before storms.
• Log run hours after each outage.
• Schedule service if oil looks dark or low.
