Generator Ready: Preparing for Chicago’s Unpredictable Weather

Why a Generator is Essential

Chicago’s unpredictable weather, with its sudden snowstorms, thunderstorms, and high winds, can lead to unexpected and extended power outages. In these moments, a generator isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Keeping your lights on, appliances running, and heating or cooling systems operational can make a significant difference in weathering a storm comfortably and safely.

At EPM Motorsports, we understand the critical role of a reliable generator in your preparedness plan. That’s why we ensure your generators are ready to perform when needed.

Expert Generator Repair and Maintenance

Generator readiness hinges on consistent maintenance and dedicated generator repair services. Our team of certified technicians excels in diagnosing and fixing any issues your generator may encounter. Whether it involves routine maintenance or urgent generator repairs, we ensure your generator stays in optimal condition.

Routine Maintenance: The Key to Reliability

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of your generator. Our comprehensive maintenance checklist includes:

• Inspecting and replacing worn parts
• Checking fluid levels and replacing them as necessary
• Testing battery function and charging system
• Cleaning and inspecting the air filter, fuel filter, and spark plugs
• Ensuring the control panel and all electrical connections are functional

These steps help prevent failures that could leave you without power when you least expect it.

Responsive Repairs: When You Need Them Most

Despite best efforts, emergency repairs are sometimes necessary. We are committed to fast response times, especially during severe weather events. We stock a wide range of parts and have the expertise to fix issues quickly, minimizing any inconvenience.

Selecting the right generator involves considering several factors: size, fuel type, and capacity. EPM Motorsports isn’t just a repair shop; we’re advisors who help you choose the best generator to meet your needs. Whether for residential or commercial use, we guide you through the options and recommend solutions that ensure you are prepared for any weather.

Generator Types and Their Best Uses

Understanding different types of generators can help you choose the right one for your needs:

• Portable Generators: Ideal for temporary uses like camping or small outdoor events. They are affordable and can run on gasoline but typically offer less power.
• Inverter Generators: Best for uses that require quiet operation and fuel efficiency. They provide stable power that is ideal for sensitive electronics.
• Standby Generators: Permanently installed and designed to automatically power on during an outage, these generators are more expensive but ensure reliability for homes or businesses dependent on continuous power.

Safety First: Operating Your Generator

Safety is paramount when using any generator. Here are critical safety tips:

• Always operate your generator outdoors, away from windows, to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Never refuel a running generator; wait for it to cool down first.
• Store fuel safely, away from living areas or heat sources.
