Standby Generator Service
Amy from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2014. She and Frank signed in early June and the generator was commissioned on the twenty-fifth of July, seven weeks from signature to running. It is a 17 kW Generac on its own pad wired to a sixteen-circuit switch, covering 1,100 square feet with a refrigerator, a freezer and the laundry. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.
Why Amy chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Farmingdale?
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.
Can a generator sit behind a solid privacy fence?
Potentially, if the fence stays outside every airflow, exhaust and servicing clearance and does not create a partially enclosed space where heat or exhaust can accumulate. Municipal fence and screening rules may apply as well.
