Stacy from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2026. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in December of 2023, and the servicing came to us two years later, starting with the three-year service that January. Two years is early enough that nothing has been left unattended long – the machine is still inside its original warranty and the intervals have not begun to slip – so the record starts clean rather than with a list of things to put right. An annual maintenance plan now covers the yearly visit.

Standby generator questions from Lincroft homeowners
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.
How much space does a generator need in front of it?
For applicable air-cooled installations, roughly three feet of unobstructed clearance at the front, for airflow and for servicing. Fences, shrubs and stored materials should not intrude into that space. Newer models should be checked against their own current manual.
Will a 22 kW generator run an entire Lincroft house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
