Generator Tips for Summertime Stormy Weather

In Louisiana, where summer storms and weather events can disrupt power without warning, having a dependable generator isn’t just smart; it’s essential. Burkhardt Air Conditioning, Heating, Electrical & Generators has been helping homeowners and businesses across Greater New Orleans stay prepared with expert installation, maintenance, and repair services for home generators.

Keep Your Generator Storm-Ready

Before the season shifts, inspect your generator for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. Burkhardt’s technicians are able to provide regular oil and filter changes, battery checks, and fuel system inspections to ensure your unit performs reliably when it’s needed most. And, as a homeowner, don’t forget to clear vents and intake areas of debris, especially after high winds or heavy rain.

Know What You’ll Power

A generator is only as useful as the plan behind it. Identify which appliances and systems you’ll prioritize, such as HVAC, refrigeration, medical equipment, or sump pumps, and make sure your generator is sized appropriately. Burkhardt’s team can help assess your needs and install a generator system tailored to your home or business.

Make Seasonal Transitions with Confidence

When the late summer months approach, switch to winter-grade oil and antifreeze if needed. Fallen leaves and nesting critters can clog exhaust systems, so a seasonal inspection is wise. If you plan to store your generator, Burkhardt can perform a full cleanout and fuel drain to prevent long-term damage.
