Ronald from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2017. His 14 kW Generac from the 6200 series was installed by another company in December of 2013, and he and Carol switched the servicing to us four years later on a Silver plan. Silver pairs the annual visit with the Generac factory warranty. Aberdeen is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Aberdeen homeowners
Do generator requirements in Aberdeen differ from the next town over?
The manufacturer's equipment requirements do not change when you cross a municipal boundary into Aberdeen, but local zoning can. A township may impose its own side-yard and rear-yard setbacks, mechanical-equipment rules, screening, noise requirements and floodplain provisions. That is why every property gets a municipal zoning review rather than a general answer.
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 the house run on the generator during its weekly exercise?
Not necessarily -- it depends on the generation of equipment, the controller and the configuration. Traditional systems commonly exercise without transferring the house at all. Newer equipment with current controls may support different exercise and transfer behaviour.
