Bob from Millstone Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2018. The 20 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in September of 2013, and Bob moved its servicing to us nearly five years later. Scheduled work ran from the five-year interval through to the nine-year, completed in January of 2022 with 254.5 hours on the meter — a good deal of running for a machine of that age, and the reason it needed attention between visits more than once. In June of 2022 we replaced its starter on a courtesy visit at no charge. A generator with that many hours behind it is a working machine rather than an ornament, and it gets treated accordingly.

Standby generator questions from Millstone Township homeowners
What should a Millstone Township homeowner look for in a generator installer?
A contractor who can design, permit, install, commission, maintain and repair the whole system rather than one who sells the machine. That means generator sizing and transfer equipment, disconnect and shutdown requirements, grounding and bonding, the manufacturer's own installation requirements, gas or propane capacity and pressure, the model-specific clearances, the municipal zoning setbacks, windows and vents and carbon-monoxide entry points, flood requirements where they apply, permits and inspections, utility coordination, load management, commissioning, warranty registration, monitoring and long-term service. The lowest proposal is not necessarily the lowest cost over the life of the system.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Millstone Township?
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.
