What your neighbors are saying about us

Patrick was very professional! I cannot recommend him highly enough, and whatever company he is working for. I very much liked their maintenance plan. He explained it very well and we purchased it. I highly recommend this plan, this company and this technician.

We absolutely love Hunters for all our electrical needs. We had originally called them out bc someone redoing our floors had burned up an outlet. Christopher was very knowledgeable and polite. He explained all recommendations that he had in a way that I understood. They are the only company I will use for all our electrical needs and upgrades.

I am very pleased with the service I've received from Hunter Service Group. Stacy was kind, respectful of my home, and professional. The install was performed in a timely fashion and I couldn't be more pleased. I will use Hunter Services for any future needs that I have within your scope! Thank you!

I highly recommend Hunter Service Group. We have recently worked with Noe Garcia and Tony Ruiz to help my in-laws find the right home generator for them to add some peace of mind if the power goes out. Installation should take place in the next few weeks. It has been a great experience so far.

Why Routine Generator Maintenance Is Essential

San Antonio’s climate is tough on outdoor equipment. The combination of heat, humidity, and the occasional severe storm creates conditions that accelerate wear on generator components, particularly on units that sit idle for weeks or months between uses. Just because a generator runs its automatic weekly test cycle doesn’t mean it’s in the condition it needs to be for an extended outage.

Routine maintenance keeps your generator’s engine, electrical components, and fuel system in proper working order. It also gives a trained technician the chance to catch developing issues before they become failures. In a city where summer power outages can stretch for hours and winter storms have caused multiday grid disruptions, having a generator that’s truly ready to run isn’t something to leave to chance.

What's Included in Our Generator Service

Hunter Service Group performs thorough generator maintenance that goes well beyond a quick visual check. Our service covers every key component of your system, including:

Oil and filter change to keep the engine running cleanly and efficiently.
Spark plug inspection and replacement as needed to ensure reliable starting.
Air filter inspection and replacement to maintain proper airflow to the engine.
Battery test and service to confirm the unit will start when called upon.
Coolant level check and top-off for liquid-cooled generator models.
Fuel system inspection including fuel lines, filters, and connections.
Transfer switch inspection and testing to verify proper automatic operation.
Full load test to confirm the generator performs correctly under power demand.
Inspection of the control panel and all electrical connections for wear or corrosion.

Signs Your Generator Is Due for Professional Service

Most generators are set up to run a brief automatic test cycle once a week, but that short run doesn’t tell you much about the overall health of the system. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to schedule a service visit:

It’s been more than a year since your generator was last professionally serviced.
The unit is displaying a warning light or error code on the control panel.
The generator starts during its test cycle but runs roughly or unevenly.
You notice oil leaks, fuel residue, or corrosion anywhere on or around the unit.
The battery is slow to start or the unit has failed a test cycle.
Your generator ran for an extended period during a recent outage and hasn’t been serviced since.

How Regular Maintenance Extends the Life of Your Generator

A properly maintained standby generator can last 20 to 30 years. Skipping service shortens that window considerably and increases the risk of a failure at exactly the wrong time. Routine maintenance keeps engine components lubricated and clean, prevents corrosion from taking hold in San Antonio’s humid conditions, and ensures that electrical and fuel system components are functioning within their intended parameters.

Consistent service also builds a maintenance record that makes it easier to spot patterns, catch recurring issues, and make informed decisions about repairs or component replacements before they turn into bigger problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a whole house generator be professionally serviced?

Generac recommends annual professional maintenance for most residential standby generators. If your unit ran for an extended period during an outage, it should be serviced sooner regardless of when the last scheduled maintenance was performed.

Can I service my generator myself?

Basic tasks like checking fluid levels can be done by a homeowner, but a full service that includes engine work, electrical testing, transfer switch inspection, and load testing should be handled by a certified technician. Improper servicing can void your warranty and leave the system in worse shape than before.

Does humidity in San Antonio affect my generator?

Yes. High humidity accelerates corrosion on electrical connections, battery terminals, and metal components. Regular professional service catches and addresses that corrosion before it causes a failure, which is one reason annual maintenance matters more in San Antonio than it might in a drier climate.

What happens if my generator fails during an outage?

If your generator fails when you need it, call Hunter Service Group. We offer generator repair services and will work to get your system back online as quickly as possible. Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent that scenario from happening in the first place.

Do you service generator brands other than Generac?

Our primary expertise and certification is with Generac, which is the brand we install and recommend. Contact us to discuss your specific equipment and we’ll let you know how we can help.
