Yes! Generators sit idle for long stretches, which makes maintenance even more important. Batteries lose charge, fuel lines can develop leaks, and parts can corrode over time.

Keep Your Generator Ready When It Matters Most
A home standby generator is a serious investment—one you count on to work when the power goes out. But like any piece of equipment, it needs regular maintenance to stay in peak condition. That’s where AquaTech Mechanical comes in.

Whether you’re in Northern NJ, the Jersey Shore, or Staten Island, our expert technicians are ready to provide the best maintenance service in the region.
Why Generator Maintenance is a Must
We get it—your generator might have worked just fine the last time the power went out, so why bother with maintenance? Here’s why it’s essential:
-
Prevent Breakdowns
– Generators sit idle most of the time, and without regular checkups, they can fail when you need them most. -
Extend the Lifespan
– Routine servicing prevents wear and tear, helping your unit last longer. -
Catch Issues Early
– Small problems like fuel leaks, battery corrosion, or faulty wiring can be fixed before they lead to costly repairs. -
Stay Compliant
– Many manufacturers (including Generac) require maintenance to keep warranties valid.
At AquaTech, we offer flexible maintenance plans that fit your needs—whether it’s annual servicing or more frequent checkups.

Generator Maintenance Frequently Asked Questions
I haven’t used my generator in months. Do I still need maintenance?
How often should I service my generator?
We recommend a once-a-year full maintenance check, but if your generator has run for long hours during power outages, an additional mid-year checkup may be beneficial.
What if my generator breaks down between maintenance visits?
With AquaTech, you’re never left in the dark. Our maintenance agreements include priority service, and if we detect a problem through remote monitoring, we’ll contact you before it turns into an emergency.

Could not be happier with the work that Chris and his team supplied - in one day. A full team arrived promptly and worked on installing dual split all day with the work finished by 5:00pm, and no clean up work required by us. After the install and a quick efficient run through Chris came the next day to give us full instructions on how to best utilize Mitsubshi units (2), answering patiently all our questions. We now have a loft that we can use in the Winter and Summer thanks to AquaTech. After one month of using the system with temperatures well below zero, we are amazed at how warm the loft... Chris WhibleyCustomer
I very rarely provide online reviews but am making an exception for Aquatech...very satisfied with all aspects of the installation of a standby generator. Chris spec'd out the job and was knowledgeable about all legal and safety requirements...installation team was prompt , hardworking, careful and cleaned up after installation...Chris's son Brandon came by to start and test the generator...he explained and demonstrated both automatic and manual start up of the unit...all in all, a most professional installation...we are going to use Aquatech to service our Air Conditioning system as well.

Really great company to work with from start to finish! Reasonable rate for an EV charger installation. On time, very responsive and clear communication. Will definitely use in the future for other electrical projects. Would recommend to anyone! Tara SanfilippoCustomer
Thank you to Chris and the guys at AquaTech. I needed my boiler updated asap and they came through!!! I had a 40 year old boiler, him and his guys put in an updated boiler and their work was clean, neat and done in a timely manner. He installed a new thermostat and took the time to explain how to operate it. Great product, wi-if ready and super user friendly. I am super happy with my new updated system and I highly recommend!!
