Michael from Red Bank, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2019. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in February of 2019, and we were called in later that year for its first-year service, completed in December of 2019. The first service is the one owners are most tempted to skip, on the reasoning that a machine less than a year old cannot need anything yet. It is the opposite: the first year is when the oil has picked up whatever the engine shed while breaking in, and changing it out on schedule is most of what decides whether the generator reaches its tenth year in good order.
Why Michael chose Green Sun Energy Services
We keep your generator ready before the power goes out.

Standby generator questions from Red Bank homeowners
Can we plant shrubs or put a fence around the generator?
Yes, provided the planting or fence stays outside the required airflow and service clearances. Site-selection guidance treats shrubs, bushes and trees as part of the clear space around the machine, and clearance should be measured against how the planting will grow rather than how it looks the week it goes in. Local zoning may separately require screening.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Red Bank home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
How is a standby generator grounded?
The grounding and bonding arrangement depends on the transfer-switch configuration, and in particular on whether the neutral is switched and the generator therefore treated as a separately derived system. It is designed by a qualified electrical contractor rather than assumed from another installation.
