Maintenance Program Information

Chances are you don’t operate your generator at full power and full temperature all the time. In fact, your generator may not be used frequently or only run light loads throughout the year leading you to believe it’s in fine shape.  Is it in need of repair?


Plus, there’s that saying- “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” 


The truth is, generators need to be run at 60 – 80 % load for 3 key reasons: to ensure reliable operation, to prevent ‘wet stacking,’ and to extend the generator’s engine life.


Whether your generator is diesel or gaseous fuel-driven, and whether it is run lightly loaded or never loaded at all, most manufacturers agree generator load testing is a must to extend your engine’s life. 


At Onward Generator Maintenance Solutions, we offer generator load testing as a separate service. 

We can also structure it into a service contract to make it part of your regular maintenance on your power systems. Generator load testing is not intrusive in any way. With this service, we provide a full report of the generator output readings for: voltages, amperages, KW amounts, and more.


At Onward Generator Maintenance Solutions, we understand the value of reliability and longevity. Contact our generator experts today to schedule your load bank test and ensure the longevity of your generator. Chances are you don’t operate your generator at full power and full temperature all the time.
