Stephen from Toms River, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2026. His 24 kW Generac from the 7200 series was installed by another company in October of 2021, and this summer he moved it onto ten years of Gold coverage with us. The plan bundles the annual maintenance with extended parts and labor, which is the sensible arrangement on a machine whose first five years of service history belongs to somebody else. Toms River is in Ocean County.

Standby generator questions from Toms River homeowners
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.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Toms River?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
Can we plant shrubs or put a fence around the generator?
Yes, provided the planting or fence stays outside the required airflow and service clearances. Site-selection guidance treats shrubs, bushes and trees as part of the clear space around the machine, and clearance should be measured against how the planting will grow rather than how it looks the week it goes in. Local zoning may separately require screening.
