Brian from Keansburg, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2020. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in April of 2015, and the servicing came to us five years later. It has been seen every spring since – May of 2020, April of 2021, March of 2022, March of 2023, June of 2024 and September of 2025 – working from the five-year service up to the ten-year interval it now repeats. Keansburg sits directly on the bay, where salt in the air works on anything left outdoors, so the yearly look inside the enclosure is worth more here than it would be a few miles inland. An annual maintenance plan covers the visit.

Standby generator questions from Keansburg homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Keansburg?
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.
Does a generator in Keansburg 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.
Does the generator have to be bolted down?
Not every ground-level installation uses the same anchoring method. The requirement changes with the model, the pad type, wind exposure, flood requirements, elevated platforms and any local engineering requirement. The model manual and the site conditions decide it.
