David from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2023. His 22 kW Generac from the 7000 series runs on our Platinum plan, which is the tier people take when they would rather not think about the generator at all. Platinum covers the scheduled maintenance and adds Wi-Fi monitoring, so the unit reports a fault the day it happens instead of the night it matters. Lincroft is in Monmouth County, where a good number of the generators we service we did not install.

Thank you for the five stars. The standby generator at your home in Lincroft is maintained on an annual plan, so each year it is serviced, load-tested and checked over rather than left to sit. Backup power is one of the few things anyone buys hoping never to use it, and keeping it genuinely ready is the whole job.
Standby generator questions from Lincroft homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Lincroft home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
Which fuel-gas code applies?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
Does the generator start on its own?
Yes. A properly installed standby generator left in AUTO is designed to start automatically when it detects an unacceptable loss of utility power. The transfer system then moves the household loads across, and when acceptable utility power returns it transfers them back and the generator runs through its programmed shutdown.
