Jeff from Colts Neck, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2022. His 22 kW Generac sits under our PowerBase Platinum plan, the top tier, which is worth having on a unit that size. Platinum covers scheduled maintenance visits and Wi-Fi monitoring, so the generator reports its own status rather than waiting to be found out during an outage. Oil, filters, battery and transfer switch all get checked on a set calendar. Colts Neck is in Monmouth County, where properties run large and a 22 kW unit is often the right size.

Great prompt service by the team. John explained the problem and was a quick fix.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Jeff. Diagnosing before dismantling is the useful skill, and John is good at it. The generator at your home in Colts Neck is serviced annually and monitored remotely between visits, so a fault often reaches us before it interrupts anything. A quick fix usually means somebody knew what to look for.
Standby generator questions from Colts Neck homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Colts Neck?
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.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
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.
