Robert from Oceanport, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2020. The 14 kW Generac was installed by another company in February of 2012, and the servicing came to us eight years later. It has been serviced every year since, most recently in December of 2025, and it runs a set of dedicated essential circuits through a 60-amp transfer switch rather than the whole house. On a machine of that age the annual visit is the whole of the maintenance: what fails is the battery, the plugs and the oil, and none of those announce themselves.
Why Robert chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Oceanport homeowners
Can a generator be raised on a platform?
Yes. Manufacturer guidance specifically covers installations on platforms and other supporting structures, and directs them to the applicable fire-safety standard, including a noncombustible surface extending beyond the generator for the configuration addressed. Flood and structural requirements have to be satisfied as well.
What is a sediment trap for?
It helps stop foreign material in the gas line from reaching the generator's fuel controls. Where the fuel-gas code and the system configuration call for one, it is fitted, and the maintenance schedule includes inspecting or cleaning it.
What is the difference between essential circuits and whole-house backup?
An essential-circuits system transfers a defined set of circuits through a smaller transfer switch rather than the whole electrical service. It is a deliberate design rather than a lesser one: the circuits that matter during an outage are chosen in advance, and the generator only ever has to carry those.
