Preventative Maintenance Agreements

Scheduled maintenance for Generac home standby generators. Semi-annual or annual service plans keep your backup power ready and help avoid emergency repairs.

Keep Your Generac Generator Ready When You Need It

Generac home standby generators are reliable, but factory-recommended maintenance keeps them running in top condition. A Preventative Maintenance Agreement (PMA) with Franklin Electric provides routine scheduled visits that identify problems before they cause damage or leave you without power during an outage.

This proactive approach helps you avoid emergency repairs and control maintenance budgets. You get the security of knowing your standby power will run at maximum operating efficiency when the grid goes down.

Common questions
How often should I have my Generac generator serviced?+

Generac recommends maintenance every six months or after every 200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Our semi-annual plan meets that requirement. Annual service is available for customers who prefer once-yearly visits.

What happens if you find a problem during maintenance?+

We document any issues and provide repair recommendations. Catching problems early during scheduled maintenance is far less expensive than emergency repairs after a failure.

Do you service generators other than Generac?+

Yes. Franklin Electric specialists are qualified to perform routine maintenance on all standby generators, from single units to parallel systems.
