Noreen from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in August of 2013, and the servicing came to us seven years later. It has been seen every summer since – August of 2020, August of 2021, August of 2022, August of 2023, July of 2024, June of 2025 and June of 2026 – starting at the seven-year service and continuing at the ten-year interval once the machine reached it. That last point is the one worth making: the service schedule does not stop when a generator runs out of new intervals to reach. It keeps repeating, because oil, plugs, filters and batteries go on aging whether or not the manual has another milestone left to offer.
Why Noreen chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Will a 20 kW generator run an entire Middletown 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.
How level does a generator have to be?
Within the leveling tolerance specified in its installation manual -- applicable air-cooled instructions have used roughly a half-inch overall. A poorly prepared base can settle after installation and bring on drainage, vibration or enclosure problems that were not there on the day it went in.
Does a generator in Middletown have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
