After a winter outage, a spring generator tune-up is a chance to review performance and resolve issues before they become urgent. Flow Tech Heating AC & Electric is an authorized Generac dealer and Generac service certified.
The Importance of Post-Winter Review
Bring the last service record, model, serial number, and run hours. Tell us about alarms, slow starts, shutdowns, or problems supplying the home. A tune-up request should become a repair discussion if there is an unresolved fault.
Professional Service for Lasting Reliability
The work should match your equipment and what is due. Ask about the recommended scope, how operation will be checked, and how findings will be documented. Do not assume every model needs the same adjustment or a firmware update at every visit.
What Can I Check Safely Before Calling?
From a safe location, note visible enclosure damage, surrounding obstructions, and the status indicator. Record a controller message or Mobile Link alert if accessible using normal owner controls. Leave covers on electrical equipment and avoid internal battery or wiring work.
Can I Check Oil While the Generator Is Running?
No. Follow the specific owner’s manual and safe shutdown procedure before any permitted owner maintenance. If you are unsure about shutdown, cool-down, oil checks, or returning the unit to automatic operation, ask for guidance before attempting the task.
Does a Yellow Light Always Mean the Generator Has Failed?
No. Status lights vary by model and controller; a yellow indication may be a reminder or warning rather than a shutdown. Report the exact message and pattern. Do not clear an alert merely to make the indicator look normal.

Keep the service summary and next recommendation with the household’s outage information. If you have changed heating, cooling, or pump equipment, mention it so backup coverage can be reviewed. Schedule generator service with your city and equipment details.
