At MG Power Systems, we provide comprehensive support for our customers across the UK, offering both planned maintenance and emergency services for your generators. Our experienced engineers are available to assist both new and existing clients.

We tailor our maintenance services based on your generator’s running hours and operating conditions. Through our remote monitoring system, we develop detailed maintenance schedules to ensure your generator never misses a service. Our engineers will visit your site at a time that’s most convenient for you, minimising any disruption to your operations.

Every aspect of your generator’s condition is thoroughly checked, and we ensure it’s running perfectly before we leave your site. Our maintenance plans are customised to fit the specific needs of each generator and business, with close collaboration to identify the best approach for your situation. Additionally, we offer a 24/7 on-call service, allowing us to promptly address any power generation emergencies.

MG Power Systems also provides comprehensive on-site load testing services. We safely test your generator’s maximum operating capacity under controlled conditions, with certification available for each aspect of the test. Our mobile resistive load banks can be deployed to any location, testing generators up to 1000KW at full load. This testing is essential for identifying potential issues that could lead to major failures, ensuring the long-term reliability of your equipment.

Before conducting load testing, we perform a full health check to confirm your generator is in optimal working condition. Our generator servicing extends across the North of England, including areas such as Middlesbrough, Durham, Darlington, Newcastle, Sunderland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, and the Scottish Borders.

Whether you need a small machine or a large-scale installation, MG Power Systems has the expertise to handle the installation, testing, and certification of your generator. Our skilled engineers are experienced in setting up generators for a wide range of applications, from grain dryers to full Automatic Mains Failure systems. All work is performed and tested in accordance with current regulations for both temporary and mains power. We also offer fault diagnosis and specialised testing for generator mains circuits.

The Importance of Regular Backup Generator Maintenance

Your backup generator is a critical investment that provides peace of mind by ensuring continuous power during outages. However, like any complex piece of equipment, it requires regular maintenance to perform reliably when you need it most. Here’s why maintaining your backup generator is essential:

1. Ensures Reliable Performance

• Avoid Unexpected Failures: Regular maintenance ensures that your generator is in peak working condition and minimises the risk of it failing during an emergency. By inspecting and servicing your generator, potential issues can be identified and addressed before they become significant problems.
• Dependable Power Supply: When the power goes out, you rely on your generator to keep your home or business running smoothly. Maintenance checks such as battery testing, oil changes, and fuel system inspections, ensure that your generator will start promptly and run efficiently during an outage.

2. Extends the Lifespan of Your Generator

• Protect Your Investment: A generator is a significant investment, and proper maintenance helps protect it. Regular servicing keeps all components in good working order, reducing wear and tear and preventing premature breakdowns.
• Maximize Efficiency: A well-maintained generator runs more efficiently, using fuel more effectively and producing less strain on its components. This efficiency not only saves you money on fuel but also contributes to a longer operational life for your generator.

3. Maintains Safety Standards

• Prevents Hazards: Generators can pose safety risks if not properly maintained, such as fuel leaks, carbon monoxide emissions, and electrical malfunctions. Regular inspections help prevent these hazards by ensuring that all safety mechanisms and components are functioning correctly.
• Complies with Regulations: Regular maintenance ensures your generator complies with local safety codes and regulations. This is especially important for businesses that need to meet specific standards to ensure the safety of their operations.

4. Preserves Warranty Coverage

• Adhere to Manufacturer Requirements: Many generator manufacturers require regular maintenance as part of their warranty terms. Skipping maintenance can void your warranty, leaving you unprotected if a major repair is needed.
• Documented Service History: Having a documented history of regular maintenance can be invaluable if you ever need to make a warranty claim. It shows that you’ve taken the necessary steps to keep the generator in good working condition.

5. Optimizes Fuel Efficiency

• Reduces Fuel Waste: A poorly maintained generator can waste fuel, leading to higher operational costs. Regular maintenance, including checking the fuel system and replacing filters, ensures that your generator runs efficiently and consumes fuel at the optimal rate.
• Cleaner Operation: Regular maintenance helps keep your generator running cleaner, reducing emissions and minimising the environmental impact of your backup power solution.

6. Prevents Costly Repairs

• Catch Problems Early: Regular maintenance allows technicians to spot and fix minor issues before they turn into costly repairs. For example, replacing a worn-out part during a routine check-up is far less expensive than dealing with a major failure later on.
• Avoid Emergency Repairs: A breakdown during an outage can lead to expensive emergency repairs. Regular maintenance helps prevent such situations, saving you money and stress when the power goes out.

7. Peace of Mind

• Confidence in Your Backup Power: Knowing that your generator has been properly maintained gives you peace of mind. You can rest assured that it will perform reliably when you need it, protecting your home or business from the inconvenience and potential damage of a power outage.
• 24/7 Availability: Regular maintenance ensures that your generator is ready to provide power at any time, day or night, regardless of how long it’s been since the last outage.
