Partially Green & Partially Yellow – Your generator WILL run, but it’s time to schedule maintenance.
Partially Green & Partially Red – Your generator WILL NOT run. Contact us immediately.
🚥 Red Light

⚙️ Why Preventative Maintenance Matters
Annual or semi-annual preventative maintenance on your automatic standby generator is essential to ensure it’s ready when your utility power goes out. Regular maintenance can also extend your generator’s lifespan and help prevent expensive repairs down the road.
If you notice a yellow or red light, don’t wait—call us at 256-880-1880 so we can make sure your generator is in top shape and ready to run when you need it most!
