When your business depends on continuous power, generator downtime directly threatens operations, revenue, and reputation. At Wolverine Power Systems, we specialize in commercial and industrial generator maintenance throughout Michigan, ensuring your backup power infrastructure performs when you need it most. Moreover, our Generac certified technicians bring extensive experience servicing everything from small office systems to large industrial power plants supporting critical manufacturing operations.
Whether you operate a healthcare facility in Detroit, data center in Grand Rapids, manufacturing plant in Flint, or retail operation in Ann Arbor, our preventative maintenance plans maximize uptime and protect business continuity. Furthermore, with Michigan's unpredictable weather causing frequent power disruptions, a well-maintained commercial generator isn't optional—it's essential for protecting your bottom line.
Unplanned equipment failures cost industrial facilities an average of $260,000 per hour. Meanwhile, properly maintained generators have a 90% lower failure rate during outages. Therefore, spending several thousand dollars annually on professional maintenance becomes economically imperative when commercial generators represent investments from $15,000 to $500,000 or more.
Wolverine Power Systems offers two tiers of our Preventative Maintenance Agreement, a comprehensive generator maintenance service plan for your residential, commercial, or industrial generators.
Plans are scalable for facilities with multiple generator systems. Additionally, we service all major commercial generator brands including Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Caterpillar, and Detroit Diesel.
To ensure the optimal performance of your generator, we recommend a service plan for twice a year, with a six-month interval, conducted by our Generac Certified Technicians.
Our emergency generator technicians have specialized experience across diverse industries, which enables us to understand the unique power requirements and operational constraints of each sector.

Commercial generator systems are exponentially more complex than residential units. Consequently, technicians must possess advanced training and manufacturer certifications specific to commercial applications. Our technicians complete rigorous Generac certification and maintain ongoing education in the latest technologies.
Moreover, certified service protects warranty coverage, maintains insurance compliance, and provides documentation necessary for regulatory audits. Furthermore, our manufacturer relationships give us priority access to technical support, genuine parts, and critical service bulletins affecting your equipment.
Power interruptions carry severe consequences beyond the immediate outage. For commercial and industrial facilities, downtime costs range from thousands to millions of dollars per hour depending on your operations. Consequently, comprehensive generator maintenance isn't just equipment care—it's risk management and business continuity planning.
While serve commercial and industrial clients, Wolverine Power Systems also provides professional maintenance services for residential standby generators throughout Michigan. Homeowners who depend on backup power for medical equipment, home-based businesses, or simply want protection during Michigan's frequent storms can benefit from our twice-yearly residential maintenance program.
Our residential service includes the same quality and attention to detail that commercial clients expect: comprehensive inspections, oil and filter changes, battery maintenance, and performance testing by certified technicians. Additionally, we offer flexible scheduling to accommodate homeowner availability and competitive pricing that makes professional maintenance accessible. Whether you have a small 7kW unit or a whole-house 30kW system, our team ensures your residential generator is ready when your family needs it.
Most commercial generators require service every six months at minimum. However, facilities with critical operations, generators that run frequently, or units operating in challenging environments should consider quarterly maintenance. Industrial generators supporting 24/7 operations may benefit from monthly service visits. Your maintenance frequency should align with manufacturer recommendations, runtime hours, and the criticality of your backup power systems. Twice a year is ideal, with load testing to meet codes—our plans make it simple.
Oil changes, inspections, and priority repairs to keep operations smooth.
Yes, our plans include 24/7 emergency service access. We maintain a rotating on-call schedule of certified technicians ready to respond to generator failures. Response times vary by location, but generally we are on-site arrival within two hours. Emergency parts inventory and manufacturer relationships enable us to resolve most issues quickly, minimizing your downtime exposure.
Yes, though our expertise shines in larger commercial setups.
They ensure safety, compliance, and longevity—avoid risks with DIY.
Absolutely. We understand that many businesses operate around the clock or have limited downtime windows. Consequently, we offer flexible scheduling including evening, weekend, and holiday service appointments. For critical facilities, we can perform certain maintenance tasks while your generator remains in standby mode, minimizing vulnerability during service visits. Our team works with your operations schedule to ensure minimal disruption.
With comprehensive preventative maintenance, commercial generators typically last 15-30 years depending on runtime hours, load factors, and environmental conditions. Standby units that only operate during power outages generally outlast prime power generators running continuously. Proper maintenance can effectively double your generator's operational lifespan compared to neglected units, representing substantial cost savings over the equipment's lifetime.
Generac generators need routine maintenance similar to your car—oil changes, filter replacements, and inspections. We recommend annual professional service, which we offer through convenient maintenance plans. Between services, your generator performs automatic weekly self-tests to ensure readiness.
Load bank testing is critical for commercial generators because it's the only way to verify performance under actual operating conditions. This testing helps identify issues like wet stacking in diesel generators, validates your system can handle its rated capacity, exercises the generator to prevent component deterioration, and confirms your runtime expectations are realistic. We recommend annual load bank testing for most commercial applications.
Definitely. Many industries face specific regulations regarding backup power systems—healthcare facilities must comply with NFPA 110 and Joint Commission standards, while data centers may need to meet industry-specific uptime requirements. Our Commercial Premium and Industrial Enterprise plans include compliance documentation, and we're familiar with the various local, state, and federal requirements affecting Michigan businesses. We provide the testing records and certification documentation necessary for regulatory audits.
Wolverine Power Systems has four strategically located facilities to ensure rapid response and comprehensive service coverage throughout Michigan, from Detroit's urban core to Grand Rapids' tech hubs, Lansing's government buildings, and Flint's industrial zones. We understand Michigan's unique power challenges—extreme weather, regulatory needs, and 24/7 demands.
