William from Millstone Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2017. The 17 kW Generac standing at the house was installed by another company in December of 2011; five years later William switched its servicing to Green Sun. It has been fully serviced every year from 2017 through 2025 – spark plug and air filter, oil and filter, battery inspection, load testing and diagnostics – and had a new battery fitted in July of 2025. The machine runs behind a 65-amp transfer switch.

Standby generator questions from Millstone Township homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Millstone Township home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
Can a standby generator be installed in the garage?
No. Residential air-cooled standby generators are designed for outdoor installation and must never be run inside a garage, basement, shed or any other enclosed occupied space. The engine produces carbon monoxide, which can cause serious injury or death. That is why outdoor location and separation from building openings are treated as critical rather than as preferences.
How far from the property line does a generator need to be in Millstone Township?
There is no single statewide New Jersey property-line setback for a residential generator. Setbacks are set by the municipality's zoning ordinance, so the requirement is a Millstone Township question rather than a general one. A generator can meet every manufacturer clearance and still breach a side-yard or rear-yard setback, which is why the zoning review happens before the location is fixed.
