Will Your Generator Run When You Need It?

Monday, March 10th, 2025

Your generator is one of those things you hope you won’t need. It would be much better if your local power grid didn’t go down, if your home didn’t experience an outage, if the storms just didn’t get that bad. But the reason you have the generator is because you know, sooner or later, you’ll need it. You’ll be so glad that you have it! Of course—unless it won’t run.

So will your generator be ready to start up smoothly when the worst occurs and your power goes out in a terrible storm? Or will you be extra anxious about that storm because you really don’t know if your generator is in decent condition? Don’t put yourself through the stress. Take the time to get your generator ready, so you’ll know you can rely on it when you have to.
