Generator Maintenance Plans: What It Costs and How to Choose a Provider
What's included
Scheduled oil and filter changes, battery testing, exercise-cycle verification (most units self-test weekly, but a technician should confirm it's actually happening), and a pre-storm-season inspection.
Typical cost
$150–$400/year for a basic plan; $400–$800/year for a comprehensive plan including parts.
How to choose
Ask what's covered vs. billed separately (many plans exclude battery replacement), and whether the plan includes priority emergency-repair scheduling — this matters most during storm season when everyone needs a technician at once.
