Steven from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2026. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in April of 2021, and the servicing came to us nearly five years later, beginning with the five-year service that January. A billable service call followed later the same month. That sequence is worth reading the right way round: the service established what condition the machine was in, and the call that followed dealt with what it found rather than with something that had simply broken. An annual maintenance plan now covers the yearly visit.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
How far from the property line does a generator need to be in Farmingdale?
There is no single statewide New Jersey property-line setback for a residential generator. Setbacks are set by the municipality's zoning ordinance, so the requirement is a Farmingdale question rather than a general one. A generator can meet every manufacturer clearance and still breach a side-yard or rear-yard setback, which is why the zoning review happens before the location is fixed.
How much clearance is needed above a generator?
Applicable air-cooled guidance requires roughly five feet of overhead clearance from structures, overhangs and projections. That is what rules out a good many low decks, roof overhangs and alcoves as generator locations, and it is worth establishing early rather than after a site is chosen.
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.
