PROJECT DESCRIPTION: GENERATOR MAINTENANCE SERVICE – BOKEELIA, FL
Our team at Coharbor Electric was recently contacted by a homeowner in Bokeelia, FL 33922 who had a generator installed just two months ago. Unfortunately, the original installation company could not be reached for follow-up maintenance. Since standby power systems require early and consistent upkeep to perform reliably during outages, the homeowner reached out to us for professional service.
WHAT WE DID:
-
Performed a full inspection of the newly installed generator system, including electrical connections, fuel source, and transfer switch operation
-
Checked oil levels, filters, and cooling system to confirm everything was within manufacturer specifications
-
Ran a test cycle under load conditions to verify that the generator would transfer power smoothly and maintain steady output
-
Cleaned and tightened electrical terminations to ensure safe, code-compliant performance
-
Documented system health and provided the homeowner with a recommended maintenance schedule for future service intervals
THE RESULT:
The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their generator is functioning properly and maintained by a licensed, local electrical contractor. By catching the maintenance early, the system is prepared for reliable backup operation when needed, protecting both comfort and safety during a power outage.
