Larry from Point Pleasant Beach, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2017. His 22 kW Generac from the 6000 series was installed by another company in August of 2016 and he switched the servicing to us a year later, taking ten years of Gold coverage. Gold bundles the annual visit with extended parts and labor, which on a machine this size is the difference between a repair bill and a phone call. Point Pleasant Beach is in Ocean County.

Standby generator questions from Point Pleasant Beach homeowners
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Point Pleasant Beach?
Yes, when the well pump is included in the design. A private well pump is electric, so without power there is no running water at all -- a different order of problem from losing the lights. Homes on a well are among the clearest cases for standby power, and the pump belongs on the load list from the start.
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.
Can the generator stay connected during a pressure test?
The machine has to be protected from test pressures beyond what its fuel controls are built to withstand. The fuel-gas code sets out when appliances are disconnected or isolated for testing, and the plumbing contractor follows both that code and the generator's installation instructions.
