Generator Service
Don't wait for a power outage to discover your generator doesn't work. Keep your backup power ready with professional generator service.
Power When You Need It Most
When severe storms roll through Iowa, power outages can last for hours or even days. A properly maintained generator can mean the difference between comfort and hardship. Yet generators are often neglected until the moment they're needed—when it's too late to discover problems.
At Keota Lawn & Power Equipment, we specialize in generator service and repair. Whether you have a portable generator for occasional use or a standby unit that powers your entire home, our certified technicians have the expertise to keep it running reliably. We see generators with old fuel, clogged carburetors, weak batteries, and failed alternators—all problems that could have been prevented with regular maintenance.
Generator Services We Offer
Complete Generator Tune-Up
Our comprehensive tune-up includes oil and filter change, air filter cleaning/replacement, spark plug inspection and replacement, fuel system cleaning, battery testing and terminal cleaning, and overall operational testing. We recommend this service annually before storm season.
Load Testing
Simply starting your generator isn't enough—it needs to be able to handle its rated load. We perform proper load bank testing to verify your generator can provide full power when needed. This is crucial for home standby systems.
Battery Service & Replacement
Generator batteries are a common failure point. We test battery health, clean terminals and connections, check charging system operation, and install quality replacement batteries when needed. Many startup failures are battery-related.
Fuel System Service
Stale fuel is the enemy of generators. We drain old fuel, clean carburetors, replace fuel filters, and can install fuel stabilizers for equipment in storage. We'll also check fuel lines and connections for leaks or damage.
