We restore commercial property damage 24-hours a day in Lane County!

Our North Eugene and Northwest Lane County team wants businesses in Eugene to be prepared to stay operational during a power outage. Here are some tips from the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety for maintaining and servicing your generator:

The time to maintain a generator is well before a major storm or disaster strikes. Backup power can help maintain a consistent building temperature and reduce the risk of freezing pipes leading to business disruption and damage. 

Permanent

• Permanent generators should have a proper maintenance plan that includes weekly, monthly, and annual checks. See the manufacturer’s specifications for more information.  
• Run the unit on its maintenance plan weekly to ensure it properly functions in an emergency. Individual units may have a timer that allows a programmed test to be scheduled, and qualified personnel should oversee these scheduled weekly tests.  
• Check the generator enclosure for loose debris or other conditions that could cause the unit not to function correctly.  

Portable 

• Store in a dry location
• Set up a maintenance schedule to include periodic test runs for the unit
