When the winter hits hard, it's best to be well prepared. Power outages caused by storms or freezing temperatures can quickly turn an uncomfortable situation into a real headache. Your generator needs to be ready to take over at any moment. Here's how to make sure it happens the way you want it to.

Why prepare your generator before winter?

1. Coping with extreme conditions:

Freezing temperatures and humidity can affect your generator's performance, and even compromise its ability to start.

2. Minimizing unexpected breakdowns:

Preventive maintenance greatly reduces the risk of breakdown when you need it most.

3. Preserve your comfort and safety:

Well-maintained equipment ensures that essential elements such as heating, lights and security systems function properly.

Pre-winter checklist

The steps:

  1. Change the oil: Use an oil suited to winter temperatures to prevent thickening.

Already just with that, you're ensuring 50% success.

  1. Inspect the battery: Check its charge and clean the terminals to prevent breakdowns.

Avoid the accumulation of leaves.

  1. Check cooling system: Make sure the antifreeze is at the right level and suitable for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
  2. Test start-up: Run a full test to detect any potential problems before winter sets in.
