Ensure that your generator will handle a full load when you need it.

A two hour load bank test is used to verify the overall reliability of your generator under a full load. The purpose of this test is to catch any problems that may affect your generator during an actual power outage. During the two hour period your generator may fail or other problems may arise. Customers will be immediately notified of any generator failure or the need for further repairs. Additional work will require customer approval.

"Vital to the operation of any engine-generator is a well-planned preventative maintenance program. An effective plan helps to ensure that when utility power outages occur, your standby power generator will start and continue to run for as long as needed."
