Cindy from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2025. The 20 kW Generac at the house dates from December of 2020 and runs on natural gas behind a 100-amp transfer switch. Green Sun began servicing it that September on a plan covering annual maintenance and an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and has been back twice since – a courtesy visit in January of 2026 and a new battery in April.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Farmingdale?
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 permanently installed generator need a disconnect?
Yes. Permanently installed generators fall under the disconnecting-means requirements of the National Electrical Code's generator article, and the equipment and electrical design have to satisfy those requirements alongside the machine's own listing and instructions.
Do underground utilities have to be marked before the trench is dug?
Yes. Underground facilities must be addressed through the New Jersey One Call process before the excavation begins, which is what protects buried gas, electric, telecommunications and water lines from being struck.
