Steven from Sea Girt, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2022. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in June of 2013, and the servicing came to us nearly nine years later. It has been seen four times since – April of 2022, December of 2024, January of 2025 and January of 2026 – along with two repair visits handled outside the schedule. Sea Girt is a block from the ocean, and salt carries further inland than most people assume, so on a machine that has stood outdoors here for over a decade the enclosure and the connections are worth as much attention as the engine itself. An annual maintenance plan now covers the yearly visit.

Standby generator questions from Sea Girt homeowners
Can the platform height be read off the FEMA flood map?
Not necessarily. The map matters, but it may not carry every elevation the platform design needs. An Elevation Certificate, a surveyed ground elevation, the Base Flood Elevation, the Design Flood Elevation, the local freeboard and the municipal flood ordinance can all bear on it, so the height is calculated for the specific property.
What is a sediment trap for?
It helps stop foreign material in the gas line from reaching the generator's fuel controls. Where the fuel-gas code and the system configuration call for one, it is fitted, and the maintenance schedule includes inspecting or cleaning it.
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.
