Alfred from Allentown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2024. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in July of 2020, and the servicing came to us four years later. The four-year service was completed that summer and the five-year service the following year. Four years is the point at which a standby generator stops being new – the break-in oil is long gone, the battery is entering the range where it starts letting people down, and the plugs and filters have real hours on them. An annual maintenance plan now covers the yearly visit.
Why Alfred chose Green Sun Energy Services
We keep your generator ready before the power goes out.

Standby generator questions from Allentown homeowners
Will it work if nobody is home?
Yes, which is one of the main advantages over a portable generator. It has to be properly installed, fuelled, maintained, free of active shutdown alarms and left in AUTO. That matters most where an outage would otherwise stop a sump pump, the heating, refrigeration or a well pump while the house is empty.
What should a Allentown homeowner look for in a generator installer?
A contractor who can design, permit, install, commission, maintain and repair the whole system rather than one who sells the machine. That means generator sizing and transfer equipment, disconnect and shutdown requirements, grounding and bonding, the manufacturer's own installation requirements, gas or propane capacity and pressure, the model-specific clearances, the municipal zoning setbacks, windows and vents and carbon-monoxide entry points, flood requirements where they apply, permits and inspections, utility coordination, load management, commissioning, warranty registration, monitoring and long-term service. The lowest proposal is not necessarily the lowest cost over the life of the system.
What fuel does a home standby generator use?
Most residential air-cooled standby generators are designed to run on either natural gas or vapour-withdrawn liquid propane. The generator and its fuel system have to be configured for whichever is chosen, and the required pressure, capacity and consumption figures depend on the model.
