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.

919 completed generator service projects across 142 New Jersey towns, including 153 with a review written by the customer.

Standby Generator Service in Aberdeen, NJ | 16 kW Whole-House Backup

Walter from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2018. The 16 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in October of 2015, and three years on Walter asked us to take it over. We began with a startup inspection — the visit we run on any machine we did not install ourselves, because there is little point servicing a generator before knowing what condition it is actually in — and then carried out the scheduled service that same month, with 23 hours showing on the meter. On a managed […]

Standby Generator Service in Brick, NJ | 10 kW Whole-House Backup on the Shore

Angela from Brick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2014. The 10 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in November of 2012, and Angela moved its servicing to us two years later. It ran the full maintenance sequence from there: the one-year service in 2014, then the two, three, four and five-year intervals through to May of 2018. The hour meter read 65.8 hours at that last visit — not much running for a house in Ocean County, which takes the weather off the water first and loses power

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

John from Howell, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2014. The 20 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in February of 2013, and John brought its servicing to us the following year. It then ran the full maintenance sequence with us: the one-year service in 2014, then the two, three, four and five-year intervals through to April of 2018, with a service kit supplied in 2014 and a service call in 2016 when something needed attention between visits. At that last scheduled visit the hour meter read 62.5 hours

Standby Generator Service in Tinton Falls, NJ | 22 kW Whole-House Backup

Tim from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2019. The 22 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company, and Tim moved its servicing to us that summer, adding an extended parts-and-labor warranty at the same time. It has been serviced every year since — the three-year interval in 2019, the four-year in 2020 and the five-year in 2021. The hour meter read under 13 hours at that first visit, which is the happy version of owning a generator: it has hardly been needed. It still has to start

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

Thomas from Westfield, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2014. The 20 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company, and Thomas brought its servicing to us while the machine was still close to new — the first visit in October of 2014 found barely 15 hours on the clock. It went through the full maintenance sequence from there: the one-year service that autumn, then the two, three and four-year intervals through to 2017, with a service kit supplied along the way. The transfer switch is a managed whole-house type, so

Generac 16 kW Standby Generator in Jackson, NJ | Two Well Pumps Covered

Sandra from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2019. She and Keith signed in the middle of October and the generator was commissioned on the fourteenth of January, a 16 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch. It covers 2,500 square feet with two refrigerators, a freezer, a dishwasher, a sump pump and two well pumps. Two wells means an outage takes the water as well as the lights, which is the clearest case for backup power there is. Jackson is in Ocean County.

Generac 22 kW Generator Service in West Long Branch, NJ | Ours Since 2019

Katie from West Long Branch, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2019. Her 22 kW Generac was installed by another company in November of 2014 and she switched the servicing to us more than four years later, on a Silver plan. Silver pairs the annual visit with the Generac factory warranty, and on a machine of that size the annual visit is what keeps the warranty worth having. West Long Branch is in Monmouth County.
