Can I service my standby generator myself safely and effectively?

You can handle light upkeep, but full generator maintenance is best left to a certified technician for safety and reliability. Parrish Services performs manufacturer-recommended checks, tests the automatic transfer switch, verifies gas pressure, and replaces oil and filters. DIY beyond cleaning and visual checks can risk gas or electrical hazards. We also offer Wi‑Fi/off‑site monitoring that reviews weekly self‑test reports and flags issues early. We serve communities like Centreville and Alexandria.

Quick checks you can do:

• Keep vents and louvers clear of debris.
• Review app/Wi‑Fi alerts.
• Schedule annual service and transfer switch testing.
