Sharon from Colts Neck, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2026. The Generac 7042 at the house is rated 22 kW on propane and 19.5 kW on natural gas, runs on natural gas, and feeds a 100-amp transfer switch. It was installed in August of 2021 by another company, and Green Sun’s first visit was in March of 2026. A machine coming up on five years is at the point where a first visit is worth booking rather than waiting for: the plugs, the filters and the battery all show how the previous four years were handled.

Standby generator questions from Colts Neck homeowners
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Colts Neck?
Yes, when the well pump is included in the design. A private well pump is electric, so without power there is no running water at all -- a different order of problem from losing the lights. Homes on a well are among the clearest cases for standby power, and the pump belongs on the load list from the start.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
What does remote monitoring actually tell you?
Depending on the generator and the connectivity, remote monitoring can report status, maintenance notifications, alarms, exercise information and operating history. Its real value is that a fault announces itself between service visits, instead of being discovered during the outage it was bought for.
