Joseph from Freehold, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2023. The 22 kW Generac was already on the property when he came to us; what he bought was ten years of Gold coverage on it. Gold takes in the scheduled maintenance and the wear parts across that decade, which on a 6000 series unit of some age is the sensible way round. Freehold is in Monmouth County, where plenty of the generators we look after we did not put in.

Trey was a wonderful technician, explained everything to me. Nice and clear. Thank you very much.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Joseph, and Trey will appreciate that. Explaining the service clearly is not decoration: the generator at your home in Freehold is checked, load-tested and tuned each year, and the use of that record is knowing what is in it. Glad it was clear and welcome.
Standby generator questions from Freehold homeowners
Can a standby generator be installed in Freehold without natural gas?
Yes. Residential standby generators commonly run on liquid propane. A properly sized tank, regulator and piping system has to be designed to deliver adequate vapour flow and pressure for the machine.
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
Should gas pressure be checked while the generator is running?
Yes. Operating pressure means more than a static reading taken with the generator off. The fuel system has to hold adequate pressure while the generator runs and other appliances may also be drawing gas. That matters most when an existing residential service is being reused.
