Anthony from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2024. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in June of 2013, and the servicing came to us eleven years later. The ten-year service has been carried out every year since – 2024, 2025 and again this year. A courtesy visit followed the first of them, with the technician cleaning the underside of the machine at no charge, which is the sort of thing that does not appear on an invoice and is noticed anyway. An annual maintenance plan covers the yearly visit, with the manufacturer’s standard warranty behind the machine.

Standby generator questions from Tinton Falls homeowners
Will a 22 kW generator run an entire Tinton Falls house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
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.
Do generator requirements in Tinton Falls differ from the next town over?
The manufacturer's equipment requirements do not change when you cross a municipal boundary into Tinton Falls, but local zoning can. A township may impose its own side-yard and rear-yard setbacks, mechanical-equipment rules, screening, noise requirements and floodplain provisions. That is why every property gets a municipal zoning review rather than a general answer.
