Greg from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2022. He and Lindsy did not buy the generator from us; they inherited a 22 kW Generac from the 7000 series and wanted somebody competent looking after it. They took Diamond, five years, which is the plan that covers the parts as well as the labour, with Wi-Fi monitoring running between the scheduled visits. Middletown is in Monmouth County, and a good share of the units we maintain arrived with the house.

Mike was awesome and serviced our generator in frigid temperatures!
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Greg, and Mike deserves that one. Generators get serviced in whatever weather the calendar hands us, and a cold morning in Middletown is when the machine is most worth proving. Better a hard test in February than an easy one in June and a surprise later.
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.
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
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.
