Rachel from Little Silver, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2022. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in December of 2014, and the servicing came to us seven years later. It has been seen every spring since – April of 2022, April of 2023, April of 2024, March of 2025 and February of 2026 – working from the eight-year service up to the ten-year interval it now repeats. A repair visit followed in the summer of 2026. A machine now twelve years old keeps running because the interval has not been allowed to slip, which is the whole argument for scheduled maintenance on equipment that spends most of its life switched off. An annual maintenance plan covers the visit.

Standby generator questions from Little Silver homeowners
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.
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Little Silver property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
Can a standby generator be used instead of utility power?
Residential standby generators are intended for backup during outages rather than as a permanent substitute for normal utility service. Running through an extended outage is expected, but maintenance requirements become considerably more important during prolonged continuous use.
