Don from Red Bank, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2017. The 17 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company, and Don and Jacqueline brought its servicing to us, with the two-year service completed that April. The hour meter told the real story: 458 hours. Most standby generators we see at that age have run for a few dozen hours, so this one had done many times the usual work — and that is precisely the case where the scheduled service stops being a formality and starts being the thing keeping the machine alive. It runs a dedicated essential-circuits switch: heat, water, refrigeration and lights rather than the whole house. Red Bank is in Monmouth County.
Why Don chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Red Bank homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Red Bank 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.
Why do outages last longer on some Red Bank streets than others?
Mature tree cover over overhead lines is the usual reason. Limbs coming down in wind, snow or ice take the lines with them, so heavily treed streets tend to see both more frequent outages and longer restoration times than open ones. It is one of the honest arguments for standby power rather than a portable generator.
How often should a standby generator be serviced?
Maintenance follows the schedule for the exact model and its operating hours. For current air-cooled units that means an annual inspection plus scheduled work at hour-and-year intervals. Extended running during a long outage can bring the next service forward.
