Why You Should Schedule an Annual Generator Tune-Up
During our summer storms power outages can strike at any time. When they do, your generator is your first line of defense to keep your home running safely and smoothly. At Amps & Volts Electric, we recommend an annual generator tune-up to make sure your system is always ready when you need it. Here’s why it matters—and what we include in every tune-up.
Ensure Your Family’s Safety
Generators burn fuel to generate power, and even a small issue can lead to dangerous consequences like gas leaks or carbon monoxide exposure. During a tune-up, we perform a gas line leak test and check all safety systems to ensure your generator is operating safely. You can trust that your home and family are protected.
