Standby Generator Maintenance Services

25-Hour Break-In Service

25-Hour Break-In Service

25-Hour Break-In Service

The 25-hour break-in service is the essential first maintenance for your new generator after its initial run time. It includes changing the oil and filter, adjusting the valves, inspecting key components, and removing any metal particles that accumulate as engine parts settle.

This service is required to maintain your Generac manufacturer warranty.

Smart Start Service

25-Hour Break-In Service

25-Hour Break-In Service

Our Smart Start Service is a specialized procedure that fast-tracks your new generator’s break-in process. It involves running the generator immediately after installation under controlled conditions to simulate extended use. This controlled break-in allows the engine to settle, circulate oil, clear metal debris, and form proper seals—while identifying any factory issues early. A full service is performed after this run time.

Your generator needs service once every year or after 200 hours of run time, whichever comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at sales@houstonequipmentrepair.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

During the first 20–30 hours of operation, a generator’s engine is still breaking in. As internal components seat, small metal particles are released into the oil. Break-in service removes this contamination before it can cause premature wear or damage.


During break-in service, synthetic oil is installed, valves are adjusted, and all other required maintenance items are completed.


Most manufacturers require break-in service to protect the engine and maintain warranty coverage. Skipping this service can shorten engine life and may result in denied warranty claims.


Your generator should be serviced once every year or after 200 hours of run time, whichever comes first. Staying on this schedule helps prevent unexpected failures and ensures your generator is ready during power outages.


We take a proactive approach, completing all recommended maintenance items each year—including valve adjustments—to keep your generator running reliably when a power outage strikes.


Yes. Generac requires regular maintenance to keep your generator’s warranty in effect. Following Generac’s recommended service schedule—including annual maintenance and any required break-in service for new units—helps prevent premature wear, ensures reliable performance, and maintains warranty coverage.


Skipping scheduled maintenance or failing to document service may result in denied warranty claims, so staying current with maintenance is essential for protecting your investment.


We service all major brands of standby and portable generators, including Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins, Westinghouse, Duromax, and more. No matter the brand, our trained technicians can handle your maintenance or repair needs.


Yes, we service generators installed by other companies. Additional fees may apply at your first maintenance visit, depending on the generator’s condition and prior maintenance. Common examples include battery replacement, battery cable replacement, or other corrective work needed to bring the generator up to proper operating condition.


Skipping regular generator maintenance can lead to unexpected failures, reduced performance, and shortened engine life. Generators that aren’t properly maintained are more likely to have issues during power outages, and manufacturers may deny warranty claims if scheduled maintenance isn’t completed.


Regular maintenance ensures your generator is reliable, efficient, and protected under warranty.

24/7 Generator MONITORING

generator monitoring installation Spring TX

What is 24/7 Generator Monitoring?

24/7 generator monitoring is a remote system that continuously tracks the status, performance, and health of your standby generator. It alerts both you and our service team of any issues—such as low battery, missed exercise cycles, or faults—before they turn into problems.


Important Notes:

  • Monitoring is only available for Generac Standby Generators
  • Only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks are supported (not 5 GHz).
  • A strong and stable signal near the generator location is important for consistent monitoring.
  • If the generator is too far from the router, a Wi-Fi range extender may be needed.
  • Cellular Monitoring Modules are available for an additional fee. See pricing below.

When is generator Monitoring Active?

Generator monitoring is always on, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The system begins working as soon as your generator is installed and connected to the generator monitoring service. Renewing your generator monitoring subscription every year means we're keeping a constant eye on your unit even when you're not home.

Why is 24/7 generator Monitoring Important?

With real-time insights and alerts, 24/7 generator monitoring helps you:

  • Catch issues before they cause a failure during an outage
  • Avoid costly repairs with early intervention
  • Ensure your generator exercises regularly and stays ready
  • Enjoy peace of mind knowing your generator is always being watched
  • Reduce downtime by allowing faster, targeted service if needed
     

Don’t wait until the lights go out to find out there’s a problem. Let us monitor your generator around the clock so it’s ready when you need it most.
