Why Generator Maintenance Is Critical Before Hurricane Season
When the power goes out during a hurricane, your generator becomes your lifeline—keeping your lights on, food safe, and critical systems running. But what happens if your generator fails just when you need it most? Unfortunately, this is a common scenario for Florida homeowners and businesses who don’t schedule routine maintenance.

At Pat Myers Electric, we’ve seen firsthand how a well-maintained generator can mean the difference between comfort and chaos. Here’s why pre-hurricane generator maintenance should be on your must-do list:

1. Generators Aren’t Set-It-and-Forget-It
Even the best generators require attention. Over time, fuel can degrade, parts can wear, and filters can clog. A simple maintenance check can detect and fix small issues before they become big, expensive failures—especially when the next storm rolls in.

2. Pre-Storm Checks Ensure Reliability
Our certified technicians inspect:

Oil levels and filters

Fuel systems and battery condition

Transfer switch function

Cooling systems and belts

Electrical connections

By running a full system test, we can guarantee your generator starts when the power doesn’t.

3. You May Not Get a Second Chance
When a hurricane is forecasted, demand for service skyrockets. Emergency calls, part shortages, and heavy scheduling can leave you waiting for repairs when it’s already too late. Preventive maintenance guarantees you’re ready before the storm.

4. It’s Not Just About Comfort—It’s About Safety
For families with medical devices, farms with livestock, or businesses with temperature-sensitive inventory, losing power isn’t just inconvenient—it’s dangerous. A working generator can mean the difference between health and harm, loss and survival.
