Standby Generator Service in Farmingdale, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Debra from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2024. The Generac 7176 at the house is a 16 kW machine on natural gas feeding a 70-amp transfer switch, installed in March of 2021 by another company. Green Sun has serviced it in July of 2024, July of 2025 and September of 2026. Taking on a three-year-old machine is straightforward work: the first visit establishes what has been done and what has not, and after that it is an ordinary annual cycle.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Can a standby generator be installed in Farmingdale without natural gas?
Yes. Residential standby generators commonly run on liquid propane. A properly sized tank, regulator and piping system has to be designed to deliver adequate vapour flow and pressure for the machine.
How is the gas pipe size worked out?
From the generator's demand, the available pressure, the pipe length, the allowable pressure drop, the fittings, the pipe material and every other appliance connected to the system. The adopted fuel-gas code carries the sizing requirements and tables, and the model's published fuel consumption goes into the calculation.
Which electrical code applies to a new installation?
Under the current New Jersey code cycle the Electrical Subcode adopts the 2023 National Electrical Code. Projects filed during a code-transition period are evaluated under the applicable transition provisions rather than assumed into the newer cycle.
