Stay Powered: The Importance of Professional Generator Maintenance

Generator Maintenance

A generator is one of the most important safeguards against power outages—but its reliability depends entirely on consistent maintenance. Like any engine, it requires regular care to perform at its best when you need it most. Without it, even the best generator can fail during an emergency.

Professional generator maintenance ensures your system runs smoothly, efficiently, and safely all year long. With over 40 years of expertise, Wesworth Electric provides comprehensive maintenance services that keep your generator ready to deliver power when it matters most.

Why Generator Maintenance Matters

Generators are complex machines made up of electrical, mechanical, and fuel systems that naturally degrade over time. Routine professional maintenance prevents small issues from turning into costly failures and keeps your generator ready for any outage.

Prevent Failures

Technicians can identify and correct potential issues before they cause system breakdowns—saving you from unexpected downtime during storms or grid failures.

Extend Equipment Lifespan

Regular oil and filter changes, along with inspections of belts, hoses, and fuel lines, help your generator run smoothly and last longer.

Ensure Reliable Performance

Maintenance ensures your generator’s battery, fuel system, and automatic transfer switch (ATS) are all functioning properly for instant backup power.

Maximize Efficiency

A well-tuned generator uses fuel more efficiently, reducing operational costs during extended outages.

What’s Included in Professional Maintenance

At Wesworth Electric, our generator maintenance program covers every vital component of your system to ensure peak performance and safety.

Fluid & Filter Changes

Fresh oil and clean filters keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

Battery & Electrical System Checks

We verify that your battery is fully charged and inspect all wiring and electrical connections.

Fuel System Inspection

We check for leaks, blockages, and fuel quality issues to prevent performance failures.

Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Testing

Component & Housing Inspection

Belts, hoses, and enclosures are examined for wear, damage, and corrosion.

This thorough approach guarantees that your generator will be ready when the next outage hits.

The Cost of Neglect

Skipping maintenance may seem like a short-term saving, but it often leads to expensive repairs—or total failure—when power is lost. During a storm or hurricane, emergency generator service can cost far more than regular preventative care.

Routine maintenance is not just a service—it’s an investment in uninterrupted power, safety, and peace of mind.
