Anirdesh LLC in Hightstown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2024. The standby generator was installed and commissioned by another company in April of 2020, and the servicing moved to us four years later. The first visit was the four-year service in November of 2024, followed by the five-year service in October of 2025. For a business the calculation behind a generator is different from a home: an outage does not just mean discomfort, it means doors closed, stock at risk and a day that cannot be made back, so the machine has to start on the first attempt rather than the second. That is what the annual service is for.

Standby generator questions from Hightstown homeowners
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Hightstown?
Yes, when the well pump is included in the design. A private well pump is electric, so without power there is no running water at all -- a different order of problem from losing the lights. Homes on a well are among the clearest cases for standby power, and the pump belongs on the load list from the start.
What is a sediment trap for?
It helps stop foreign material in the gas line from reaching the generator's fuel controls. Where the fuel-gas code and the system configuration call for one, it is fitted, and the maintenance schedule includes inspecting or cleaning it.
Why can't a generator be wired straight into the panel?
Because a standby generator needs approved transfer or interconnection equipment so that it cannot unintentionally energise the utility supply. The transfer switch is one of the most important electrical-safety components in the whole installation, not an accessory to it.
