Service cadence for HomeStandby 8 kVA
Service leaves keep HomeStandby 8 kVA from becoming a surprise. Oil, air filters, battery float, and a weekly remote or manual start test. Write hours on the canopy card. Replace filters before they choke the pack mid-outage.
Highveld dust weeks need shorter filter intervals. Coastal humidity needs a wipe on control boards. Winter needs battery float and, on some packs, a block heater note. its easier to change filters overnight than to invent a story after a failed start.
What to bring to a service visit
- Hours log and last fill date
- First-start photo from commission
- Any ATS fault lamp you saw after a real cut
- Spare filter kit if you keep one on site

Retire vs refresh
Retire batteries that fail a float check. Refresh fuel that sat through a quiet month. Keep the canopy if the frame and hours still look honest. We would rather you send a tip photo than guess from a WhatsApp description.
