Frank from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2021. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in October of 2019, and the servicing came to us two years later. It has been seen every fall since – December of 2021, December of 2022, December of 2023, November of 2024 and November of 2025 – working straight up the intervals from the two-year service to the six-year, 1,000-hour one. An unbroken run like that is worth more than any single visit in it: the value of a service record is that it shows what was replaced and when, so the next technician is not guessing at a machine’s history. An annual maintenance plan covers the yearly visit.

Standby generator questions from Aberdeen homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Aberdeen?
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.
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
