Donna from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2017. Her generator was installed by another company and she brought the servicing to us on a Bronze plan, which ran its full five year term. Bronze is the call-us-when-you-need-us arrangement rather than a scheduled visit, and it suits owners who would rather ring when something is wrong than book a date every year. Holmdel is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Holmdel homeowners
Can the exercise time be changed?
Yes, though the procedure depends on the controller and the model, and older and newer control platforms use different setup interfaces. Remote monitoring may also offer it, depending on the generator.
Does the generator need its own gas shutoff?
The fuel installation has to include the shutoff arrangements required by the adopted fuel-gas code and by the installation instructions. The valve must be positioned where it is accessible, both for servicing and for isolating the machine in an emergency.
How close to the house can a generator sit in Holmdel?
For the air-cooled models covered by the manufacturer's listed installation guidance, the rear of the generator can be as close as eighteen inches to a qualifying structure when every condition of that listing is met. That eighteen inches is a tested installation dimension, not a zoning setback, and a municipality can require more.
