Kristen from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2023. Her 22 kW Generac from the 7000 series is on Diamond with a ten year term, the longest coverage we write. Over a decade the arithmetic is simple: the plan covers the maintenance visits, the wear parts and the Wi-Fi monitoring, and the alternative is remembering to arrange all three yourself every year for ten years. Middletown is in Monmouth County.

Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Kristen. Consultative rather than salesy is exactly the note we try to hit, because a generator is a large purchase and the right answer is sometimes a smaller machine. The 22 kW Generac at your home in Middletown has been with us since 2023 and is serviced on an annual plan. Glad the approach suits you.
Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Middletown?
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 a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
Can a standby generator run central air conditioning?
Yes, when it is sized for it. The design has to account for both the running demand and the starting surge of the air-conditioning equipment. Load-management equipment can be used where necessary so that demand does not all arrive at once.
