Edward from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2025. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in March of 2021, and the servicing moved to us four years later. The first visit was the four-year service in July of 2025, and the five-year service followed in July of 2026. Four years is roughly where 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 Edward chose Green Sun Energy Services
We keep your generator ready before the power goes out.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Can a generator be installed in a flood zone in Farmingdale?
Yes, but the generator and its electrical equipment may need to be elevated or otherwise protected. The installation is evaluated against the property's FEMA flood zone, its Base Flood Elevation and Design Flood Elevation, the municipal flood ordinance, any applicable freeboard, and NJDEP requirements where they apply. It is a property-by-property assessment rather than a rule of thumb.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Farmingdale home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
Does the residential building code apply to a generator?
It can. For applicable one- and two-family dwellings New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Residential Code, subject to state amendments. Structural and flood-related generator installations may therefore need review under the residential subcode as well as the electrical and fuel requirements.
