Harold from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2020. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in May of 2014, and the servicing came to us six years later. The six-year service was completed in July of 2020, the seven-year service in July of 2021 and the eight-year in July of 2022, with two separate repair visits handled in 2022 alongside the scheduled work. Servicing here is arranged visit by visit rather than under a plan, which suits an owner who would rather decide each year than commit in advance – and it still puts a technician in front of the machine before the season that will ask something of it.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Can a generator be raised on a platform?
Yes. Manufacturer guidance specifically covers installations on platforms and other supporting structures, and directs them to the applicable fire-safety standard, including a noncombustible surface extending beyond the generator for the configuration addressed. Flood and structural requirements have to be satisfied as well.
Can a generator be installed in a flood zone in Middletown?
Yes, but the generator and its electrical equipment may need to be elevated or otherwise protected. The installation is evaluated against the property's FEMA flood zone, its Base Flood Elevation and Design Flood Elevation, the municipal flood ordinance, any applicable freeboard, and NJDEP requirements where they apply. It is a property-by-property assessment rather than a rule of thumb.
Will a larger gas meter be needed?
Possibly. A generator can significantly increase a home's maximum gas demand. If the existing meter or service cannot hold the required pressure while supplying the generator and the other appliances together, the gas utility may require an upgrade.
