Bob from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2018. His 16 kW Generac from the 7000 series is on our maintenance schedule, which on this series means the annual service plus the firmware updates the newer controllers need. Each visit takes in the spark plug and air filter, oil and filter, battery inspection, load testing and system diagnostics. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County, where a standby generator is closer to standard equipment than a luxury.
Why Bob chose Green Sun Energy Services
We keep your generator ready before the power goes out.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Is a standby generator the same as a portable one?
No. A home standby generator is permanently installed and automatically connected to the home's electrical and fuel systems. A portable normally has to be placed, fuelled, started and connected by hand each time, using approved connection equipment. The standby machine is designed as an integrated backup-power system rather than as something you fetch out of the garage.
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.
What is the difference between essential circuits and whole-house backup?
An essential-circuits system transfers a defined set of circuits through a smaller transfer switch rather than the whole electrical service. It is a deliberate design rather than a lesser one: the circuits that matter during an outage are chosen in advance, and the generator only ever has to carry those.
