Standby Generator Service

A generator sits quietly for a year and then has to work on the one night it matters. That means the battery, the oil, the weekly test cycle and the transfer switch, all checked before the storm rather than during it. These are New Jersey homes we look after on a maintenance plan, and plenty of the generators on this list were installed by somebody else. Each one names the equipment on site and the town, so what you are reading is work we actually did rather than a list of what a plan covers.

938 completed generator service projects across 142 New Jersey towns, including 165 with a review written by the customer.

Standby Generator Service in Matawan, NJ | 20 kW Whole-House Backup

The six-year and seven-year services were both carried out, the second completed two days before Christmas 2019 with 251.5 hours on the meter and the fuel plenum inspected and clear of rust, and we were back once more when the machine needed attention between visits.

Batteries are the commonest reason a standby generator fails to start, and

Standby Generator Service in Fair Haven, NJ | 16 kW Essential-Circuits Backup

John from Fair Haven, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2018. The 16 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company back in 2008, and a decade later John asked us to take over its care. The six-year service was completed that December. Picking up a machine that age means working on equipment designed before most of the current control boards existed — parts are still available, the service intervals are the same, and there is no reason a well-kept generator of that generation should not go on working. It runs

Standby Generator Service in Manasquan, NJ | 20 kW Whole-House Backup

Every interval since has been carried out — the one-year check, then the two, three, four and five-year services, the last completed in October of 2022 with 90 hours on the meter and the fuel plenum inspected and clear of rust. At 11

Standby Generator Service in Pennington, NJ | 17 kW Backup, 300 Hours Run

Manjit from Pennington, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2017. The 17 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in November of 2011, and Manjit brought its servicing to us six years later — the same year we took on the generator at the Citgo station Manjit owns a few minutes away, so both the business and the house are covered by the same hands.

The two and three-year intervals were both carried out, the second completed in July of 2019 with 23.8 hours on the meter, and a repair was made under the manufacturer’s warranty along the way. Warranty work is the part of a service relationship people rarely think about until they need it: the cover belongs to Generac, but

Chris from Colts Neck, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2018.

The two-year service was completed in July of 2020, with the fuel plenum inspected and clear of rust. The hour meter read one hour — the machine had barely run since it was commissioned, which is the position most owners hope to be in and the exact

Standby Generator Service in Tinton Falls, NJ | 20 kW Whole-House Backup

Susan from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2018. The 20 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in January of 2015, and Susan brought its servicing to us three years later. The three-year service was completed that July with 40.8 hours on the meter, and we were back out in August of 2019 when the machine needed attention between scheduled visits. A 20 kW unit on a managed whole-house switch carries the entire property, so a fault that would be an inconvenience on an essential-circuits setup is

Scheduled work ran from the five-year interval through to the nine-year, completed in January of 2022 with 254.5 hours on the meter — a good deal of running for a machine of that age, and the reason it needed attention between visits more than once. In June of 2022 we replaced its starter on a
