Did you know?
Your generator needs service at 25 hours, then every 200 hours or once a year, to stay in top shape and protect your investment.

One service a year for reliable power anytime.
Constant monitoring, zero surprises.
Portable generator care you can count on.
The first 25 hours of run time are critical for your generator. As internal parts settle, tiny metal particles can build up in the oil. If not removed, they can cause early wear and long-term damage.
That’s why your first service must happen at 25 hours. Don’t skip it—schedule your break-in service today.
A 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 must be performed at 25 hours of run time, immediately following the break-in period. It’s the very first scheduled maintenance to ensure your generator starts strong. Our Smart Start Service accelerates this timeline to ensure your generator is ready to run for up to 200 hours.
The break-in service is critical because during the first 25 hours, the engine’s moving parts wear in and release tiny metal debris into the oil. If this isn’t removed promptly:
Completing the break-in service on time protects your investment and sets your generator up for long-term, dependable operation—ensuring you’re ready when the power goes out.

New generators need proper break-in to run long and reliably. Our Smart Start Service accelerates this process, ensuring your generator is ready to run up to 200 hours when you need it most.
Smart Start Service is a specialized procedure that fast-tracks your new generator’s break-in process. It involves running the generator under controlled conditions to simulate extended use, allowing the engine to settle properly before an actual power outage.
This service is scheduled a few days after the generator installation—well before you need to rely on your generator during an outage.
Without proper break-in, new generators aren’t ready for long, continuous use.
Smart Start Service:
After Installation:
We run your generator continuously for 25 hours under full home load. This controlled break-in allows the engine to settle, circulate oil, clear metal debris, and form proper seals—while identifying any factory issues early.
Completion of Test Run:
You’ll then switch back to utility power, letting the generator cool down to protect internal parts and prepare it for a thorough inspection.
Break-In Service:
A certified Generac technician performs the critical 25-hour break-in service, including an oil change, valve adjustment, and system inspection. See our service checklist for more details.

Preventative maintenance is essential to keeping your generator running smoothly when it matters most. Proactive maintenance helps prevent unexpected failures during critical moments.
Annual generator service is a comprehensive inspection and maintenance check designed to keep your generator running smoothly and reliably. This includes oil and filter changes, battery checks, fuel system inspections, load testing, and ensuring all components are functioning properly.
Your generator needs service once every year or after 200 hours of run time, whichever comes first. Staying on this schedule prevents unexpected failures and keeps your generator ready for power outages.
Regular annual maintenance is critical to:
*Battery Replacement Policy
Battery replacement is included (as needed, every 2-3 years) when the current battery was provided by H.E.R. and annual maintenance is performed without interruption.
*Coolant Flush & Replacement Policy
Coolant flush and replacement is included (as needed, at year 5, 10, etc.) when the generator has had annual maintenance is performed by H.E.R. without interruption for a minimum of 4 years.

Generator monitoring gives you peace of mind by providing real-time alerts and remote performance tracking. We receive a notification if something needs attention, so we can take action quickly—often before you even notice there’s an issue.
24/7 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 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 monitoring service. Renewing your monitoring subscription every year means we're keeping a constant eye on your unit even when you're not home.
With real-time insights and alerts, 24/7 monitoring helps you:
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.
