Vinny from Manasquan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2025. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in September of 2021, and the servicing came to us three and a half years later. The four-year service was completed that March and the five-year service the following February. Manasquan sits at the mouth of the inlet, which is as exposed as the Monmouth coast gets – salt carried on the wind works on anything left outdoors, and a machine here earns its yearly inspection more than one a few miles inland. An annual maintenance plan now covers the visit.

Standby generator questions from Manasquan homeowners
Does the generator need its own gas shutoff?
The fuel installation has to include the shutoff arrangements required by the adopted fuel-gas code and by the installation instructions. The valve must be positioned where it is accessible, both for servicing and for isolating the machine in an emergency.
How far from the property line does a generator need to be in Manasquan?
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 Manasquan 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.
What does the automatic transfer switch do?
It moves the home's electrical supply between the utility and the generator. That is what lets the system work automatically, and it is also what prevents the house being connected to both sources at once. It is the piece that makes the rest safe.
