FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
When buying a diesel generator, you are making a significant investment into a new power supply. With this in mind, it’s understandable that you will want to get the best return on investment from your purchase and increase the time and usage you receive from your new generator.
Maintaining your generator is essential if your business relies on a constant power supply.
At PPSPower, we employ experts that specialise in generator repair, servicing and maintenance to ensure systems run safely and efficiently, reducing costs and providing facilities managers with peace of mind.
Why invest in generator maintenance? Four major benefits:
- Reliability
As the saying goes, prevention is almost always better than cure. Completing some simple health checks can help maintain a generator to keep it running smoothly, meaning it is less likely to cut out and require repairs, allowing your business to continue operating.
- Fuel efficiency
A poorly maintained or neglected generator can be susceptible to fuel issues such as algae in the system, clogged fuel injectors and dead batteries. If left for too long, these fuel problems can damage a generator and stop it functioning altogether. A maintenance package will keep a generator’s fuel running through the system efficiently to eliminate any issues.
- Cost savings
Maintaining your generator will help keep it running for longer while using less fuel. While avoiding maintenance can seem like a cheaper option, in the long term it’s definitely not the best solution, as the cost of repairing and replacing a unit far outweighs the cost of a service package.
- Extend the unit’s lifespan
By regularly maintaining your generator you will increase the lifespan of the unit, helping it to run more smoothly and reducing faults and outages. This will delay the necessity of replacing the unit far into the future.
