Remi from Marlboro, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2021. The Generac 7043 at the house is a 22 kW machine on natural gas, feeding a 100-amp transfer switch, and it was installed in January of 2020. Green Sun has serviced it every year since taking it on – May of 2021, May of 2022, July of 2023, July of 2024, July of 2025 and July of 2026. Six consecutive years on one machine is what an annual cycle looks like when nobody skips a summer, and it is why a machine of that age still behaves like a new one.

Standby generator questions from Marlboro homeowners
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Marlboro?
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.
Which way should the generator face?
Orientation has to comply with the installation instructions and must not create an unsafe exhaust or carbon-monoxide condition. Windows, doors, soffit openings, intake vents, window wells and mechanical fresh-air intakes all bear on it. Which way the machine faces is part of the site design, not an aesthetic choice made at the end.
Which fuel-gas code applies?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
