Dennis from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2022. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in February of 2017, and the servicing came to us five and a half years later. Every interval since has been kept without a gap – the five-year service in 2022, the six-year in 2023, the seven-year in 2024 and the visits that followed, each in late summer. Taking a machine on at five years is the middle case: the early services are behind it and the original warranty is largely spent, so what matters from that point is whether the record stays continuous – and here it has. An annual maintenance plan covers the yearly visit, with the manufacturer’s standard warranty behind the machine.

Standby generator questions from Hazlet homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Hazlet?
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.
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
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.
