John from Freehold, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2015. The 20 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in December of 2013, and John moved its servicing to us two years later. Every scheduled interval from the two-year service through to the ten-year has been carried out, the most recent completed in April of 2025. The hour meter read 129.5 hours at that visit — a little over five days of running spread across a decade of Freehold weather. Nobody finds out whether a standby generator still works during a storm; they find out at the service, which is the whole argument for booking one on a machine that spends most of its life switched off.
Why John chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Freehold homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Freehold?
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.
How is a standby generator grounded?
The grounding and bonding arrangement depends on the transfer-switch configuration, and in particular on whether the neutral is switched and the generator therefore treated as a separately derived system. It is designed by a qualified electrical contractor rather than assumed from another installation.
Does a generator need a concrete pad?
Not universally. Approved alternative support systems are permitted for applicable models. Concrete or an engineered platform may still be required because of the site conditions, flood requirements, anchoring, municipal requirements or structural design -- but it is not automatic.
