Standby Generator Installation and Standby Generator Service in Middletown, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Patti & David from Middletown, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since January of 2013, and that May we completed their Generac standby generator installation. More than a decade of nor’easters and summer storms later, the generator still starts on its own within seconds of an outage, keeping heat, lights, refrigeration and the sump pump running while the street stays dark. A Green Sun service plan with scheduled maintenance is what keeps a twelve-year-old machine starting like a new one. Homeowners across Monmouth County rely on Green Sun Energy Services for standby power built to last.

Thank you. Standby power at your home in Middletown since 2013 is a long stretch, and the services in between are the reason the machine is still worth having. We are grateful for the recommendation and for a relationship that has run this long.
Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Does a propane generator need permits in Middletown?
A permanently installed propane generator normally requires construction permits, and the propane installation has to satisfy the applicable fuel-gas and LP-gas requirements. Tank placement, capacity, piping, regulators, setbacks and fire-safety provisions all come under review.
Does a generator produce less on natural gas than on propane?
Some models do have a lower rated maximum output on natural gas than on propane -- a current 22 kW machine is rated 22 kW on LP and 21 kW on natural gas. Other models carry their own ratings, so the model-specific specification sheet is what settles it rather than a general rule.
Does the generator need its own gas shutoff?
The fuel installation has to include the shutoff arrangements required by the adopted fuel-gas code and by the installation instructions. The valve must be positioned where it is accessible, both for servicing and for isolating the machine in an emergency.
