Mark from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2016. He signed in early July and the generator was commissioned on the sixth of September, an 8 kW Generac in a steel enclosure on its own pad, wired to a ten-circuit switch covering 500 square feet with a refrigerator and a freezer. Keeping the cold storage running is most of what a small standby unit is for. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.
Great communication along the installation journey. They represent great products and offer plenty of financing options.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Mark. Keeping you posted through the installation is deliberate, because a generator project has more moving parts than it looks: gas, electrical, permits and inspections all run on their own timelines. The 8 kW machine at the house in Farmingdale was sized around what really has to stay cold. Glad the whole journey was clear.
Why Mark chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
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.
Does every generator need a valve adjustment?
No. Valve-clearance requirements depend on the engine and the model. The technician identifies the model and serial number and follows the applicable maintenance schedule, rather than assuming every air-cooled machine gets the same procedure.
How much space is needed at the ends of the generator?
Applicable air-cooled installation instructions commonly require about three feet at the ends. That space protects cooling airflow, exhaust operation and the access a technician needs to work on the machine. The model-specific manual controls.
