Common Windmill Repairs After Winter
What to Check and Fix as the Seasons Change
Winter can be tough on windmill systems, especially if they’re exposed to extreme cold, wind, and ice. As the weather warms up, it’s important to assess your windmill and address any wear and tear.
Start by inspecting the blades for cracks or warping. Ice buildup can cause damage, so it’s crucial to make repairs before the next use. Check the bearings and gearbox for rust or grinding noises, which may signal the need for lubrication or replacement.
Ensure the tower is structurally sound, especially if your area experienced strong winter winds. Finally, check all water lines and pumping mechanisms for cracks or freezing damage.
