Partha from New Providence, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2024. The 11 kW Generac was installed by another company in January of 2019, and five years on the servicing came to us. An extended parts-and-labor warranty was ordered and delivered in the same month. The machine has been serviced each year since – April of 2024, February of 2025 and February of 2026 – and it carries a set of dedicated essential circuits through a 50-amp transfer switch rather than the whole house.

Standby generator questions from New Providence homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in New Providence?
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.
Does a generator produce less on natural gas than on propane?
Some models do have a lower rated maximum output on natural gas than on propane -- a current 22 kW machine is rated 22 kW on LP and 21 kW on natural gas. Other models carry their own ratings, so the model-specific specification sheet is what settles it rather than a general rule.
Which fuel-gas code applies?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
