Joseph and Donna from Point Pleasant, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since June of 2025. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in May of 2022, and the servicing came to us three years later – the three-year service that June and the four-year service the following spring. Beach Boulevard is about as exposed as New Jersey gets: salt carried on the wind works on the enclosure, the fasteners and the electrical connections, and a machine here earns its yearly inspection more than one a few miles inland. An annual maintenance plan and an extended parts-and-labor warranty both sit behind it.

Standby generator questions from Point Pleasant homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Point Pleasant?
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.
Does a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
Can a generator sit next to the air-conditioning condenser?
Potentially, provided the installation preserves the clearances required by both machines. The generator's hot exhaust should not be directed at the condenser, and neither unit should obstruct the other's airflow or service access. In practice that often means about three feet or more of separation, but the manufacturers' actual requirements decide it.
