Standby generators and electric motors are incredibly important pieces of equipment, especially in the Fairbanks, AK, area, where snow and cold weather are prevalent. A generator is only effective if you can rely on it in a pinch, which is why Aero Services always includes load bank tests as part of their regular maintenance schedule.

The load bank test checks the generator's performance to see whether it meets the manufacturer's specifications and can create the energy you need to power your building. Even when they're on, generators typically aren't running at top speed, so this procedure will test how much it can handle.

These tests not only help you monitor the condition of your generators, but they also keep the equipment in top shape and extend its useful life. If your generator runs lightly, it can develop carbon buildup and wet-stacking in the exhaust system and combustion chambers; this seriously impacts its performance and fuel efficiency. The load bank test prevents blockages and keeps your generator in peak operating condition.

The experts at Aero Services recommend having a professional conduct a load bank test on your system at least once a year. They've been repairing and maintaining electric motors for Alaskans since 1957, so you can be certain they'll help you get the most out of your generator.
