Stay Ready Year-Round with Generator Maintenance.
Routine service, testing, and tune-ups that help your system start fast and run reliably when you need it most.
Urban Design Generator Maintenance
Whether you’ve just installed a new home standby generator or moved into a home where one is already in place, ongoing maintenance is key to keeping it reliable when you need it most.
Annual generator maintenance helps ensure your standby system starts automatically, runs smoothly, and delivers the power your home depends on during an outage.
Unfortunately, many generator owners skip routine service—only to discover their generator won’t perform properly when the power goes out.
Like any mechanical system, standby generators require professional care and regular inspections. Enrolling in a high-standard maintenance plan is one of the best ways to protect your home, your comfort, and your investment.


At Urban Design, we recommend scheduling generator maintenance at least once a year to keep your standby system operating at peak performance and ready to respond automatically when your home needs power.
In Northern California, annual service is especially important. Between Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), wildfire-related outages, planned utility work, and an aging power grid, standby generators often run longer—and more frequently—than homeowners expect.
Without routine maintenance, even a high-quality generator can become unreliable over time. Regular service helps ensure your generator starts, transfers, and powers your home the moment an outage occurs—so you’re not left guessing when the lights go out.
When the power goes out, your generator should turn on without hesitation. But without regular service, even the best standby generator can become unreliable over time. With Northern California’s frequent outages and planned shutoffs, annual maintenance is essential.
Urban Design’s Generator Assurance Program (GAP) keeps your system maintained, monitored, and ready—so your home stays powered through every season. GAP coverage is available for Generac, Cummins, and Kohler standby generators, with plan options for systems with or without Wi-Fi connectivity.
