Joseph from Matawan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2021. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in January of 2014, and the servicing came to us seven and a half years later. Scheduled maintenance followed in October of 2021 and October of 2022, a year apart to the week. Both were arranged as individual jobs rather than under a plan, which is a legitimate way to keep a machine in order: the intervals are what matter, and whether they are booked one at a time or scheduled in advance is a question of preference rather than of engineering.

Standby generator questions from Matawan homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Matawan?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
Can a standby generator run central air conditioning?
Yes, when it is sized for it. The design has to account for both the running demand and the starting surge of the air-conditioning equipment. Load-management equipment can be used where necessary so that demand does not all arrive at once.
What actually gets done at a service visit?
It depends on the model, the age and the interval, but typically engine oil and filter, air filter, spark plug inspection or replacement, battery inspection, a fuel-system leak check, sediment-trap inspection, valve clearance where applicable, and inspection of the enclosure and intakes.
