We do not sell one maintenance plan and tell every generator owner that it needs the same schedule.
We currently offer a $450 baseline inspection for existing generators, plus three recurring service levels on the service plans page.
Essential Annual includes one visit per year at $450.
Preferred Semi-Annual includes two visits per year at $800.
Premier Uptime includes four visits per year at $1,400.
The important question is not which plan has the longest list of benefits.
It is what kind of generator owner and property each schedule is built around.
The baseline inspection is the simplest place to start for existing units
We require a $450 baseline inspection before enrolling an existing standby generator in a plan—whether we installed it or not. The visit includes oil and filter status, engine condition, battery and charging system testing, controller and alarm log review, exercise cycle verification, transfer switch inspection, and a live transfer test with your permission, followed by a written report.
That can make sense for someone who already owns a Generac but has no clear maintenance history.
Maybe the system came with the house.
Maybe another company installed it.
Maybe the homeowner simply wants a professional readiness check before deciding on recurring service.
We also provide generator repair, including work on Generac systems we did not originally install.
If we maintain your generator under one of our agreements and it does not perform during an outage, your next year of maintenance visits is free.
Essential Annual keeps the schedule straightforward
The Essential Annual plan is currently $450 per year for one visit. It includes a comprehensive annual service visit, complete system inspection and testing, oil and filter change, battery test and terminal cleaning, air filter replacement, spark plug inspection, a written performance report, and documentation that helps keep Generac warranty requirements met.
We describe this level as a fit for low run-time systems and basic coverage.
For a homeowner, the main appeal is simplicity.
There is one scheduled maintenance appointment.
The generator still performs its normal exercise cycle between visits, and the owner should still pay attention to alerts or unusual behavior, but the recurring professional service calendar remains easy to manage.
Preferred adds a before-and-after winter rhythm
We label Preferred Semi-Annual as our most popular service plan.
It currently costs $800 per year and includes two visits, one in spring and one in fall. The plan includes all Essential services twice yearly, plus a pre-winter readiness check, post-winter inspection, battery and charging system focus, priority scheduling during outage season, and a 10% discount on repairs.
That schedule is particularly easy to understand in North Dakota and Minnesota.
The generator gets looked at before the hardest winter period and again after it.
We specifically describe the plan as a fit for frequent outages, sump pumps, livestock waterers, and home offices—properties where continuous backup readiness matters more than a single annual stop.
Premier is built around equipment that gets more attention
Premier Uptime changes the service relationship more substantially.
The current price is $1,400 per year for four quarterly visits. It includes all Preferred services on a quarterly rhythm, plus remote monitoring and alerts where the generator model and connectivity allow, priority emergency response, annual performance verification, a 15% discount on repairs, automatic service reminders, and extended warranty coverage options.
We describe this level as a fit for maximum peace of mind, medical needs, and second homes.
This is not simply the annual plan multiplied by four.
More frequent physical inspections are part of it, but the monitoring and response features are a larger reason the tier exists.
More visits do not make the generator immune to problems
A service plan should not be understood as a promise that equipment cannot fail.
Generators are mechanical and electrical systems.
They have batteries, filters, fluids, fuel connections, transfer equipment, and controls.
Our service plans are designed to inspect and maintain those systems on different schedules, but we also operate a separate generator-repair service because unexpected problems can still occur.
Parts and repairs outside the listed plan scope are billed separately and only after your approval.
Choose the plan based on how important the generator is to the property
A useful way to compare the plans is to stop looking at the plan names and think about the building.
Is this a seasonal property?
Is it occupied every day?
Does the household have medical or livestock loads that cannot wait?
Is the generator protecting a second home that nobody visits regularly?
How closely do you want us involved between outages?
Those questions line up better with the service differences than simply choosing the middle package because it says “Most Popular.”
