Connie from Point Pleasant Beach, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2020. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in January of 2020, and the servicing came to us nine months later, along with cellular monitoring and an extended warranty. It has been seen every winter since – March of 2022, March of 2023, April of 2024, February of 2025 and February of 2026 – and three separate repairs have been handled in that time, two under the manufacturer’s warranty and one under workmanship cover. A machine standing on the oceanfront takes salt air from every direction, which is why the interval matters more here than a few miles inland and why the monitoring earns its place. The plan covers annual maintenance, the extended parts-and-labor warranty and the monitoring we watch.

Standby generator questions from Point Pleasant Beach homeowners
What fuel does a home standby generator use?
Most residential air-cooled standby generators are designed to run on either natural gas or vapour-withdrawn liquid propane. The generator and its fuel system have to be configured for whichever is chosen, and the required pressure, capacity and consumption figures depend on the model.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Point Pleasant Beach home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
Can a standby generator run central air conditioning?
Yes, when it is sized for it. The design has to account for both the running demand and the starting surge of the air-conditioning equipment. Load-management equipment can be used where necessary so that demand does not all arrive at once.
