Barry from Leonardo, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2019. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in August of 2018, and we carried out the first-year service the following September. That first service is the one that matters most on a new machine: the break-in oil comes out, the valves are checked at the point they are most likely to need adjusting, and the machine that has run only its weekly self-tests gets looked at properly for the first time. This was a single visit rather than the start of a plan, which is a perfectly reasonable way to buy a service – the work happened and the machine was left in good order.
Why Barry chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Leonardo homeowners
Does a generator in Leonardo have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
How far does a generator have to be from a window or door?
Manufacturer guidance requires substantial separation from operable windows, doors, vents and other openings through which exhaust could enter the house -- commonly five feet for the applicable air-cooled configurations. The exact model's current installation manual has to be checked before a location is approved.
