Robert from Long Branch, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2025. He signed in the middle of January and we had the unit commissioned by early March, a 24 kW Generac standby generator tied to a 200-amp automatic transfer switch, sized for whole-home backup rather than a few essential circuits. A PowerBase service plan keeps it on a scheduled maintenance cycle with monitoring in between, so the generator is tested well before the first outage of the season. Long Branch is on the Monmouth County shore, where storm-driven outages are a regular part of the year.
The Green Sun team provided us with a whole-house gas generator. They were organized and thorough, keeping us posted on the install schedule, permitting, and what we needed to do. The work was done on time and efficiently. Thank you Green Sun!

Standby generator questions from Long Branch homeowners
What happens if the manufacturer and Long Branch disagree?
The installation has to satisfy all applicable requirements. A manufacturer's listing cannot be ignored, and a manufacturer's minimum clearance does not cancel a municipal zoning requirement. Where requirements conflict or the interpretation is uncertain, the Authority Having Jurisdiction is consulted before the work goes in rather than after.
Will it work if nobody is home?
Yes, which is one of the main advantages over a portable generator. It has to be properly installed, fuelled, maintained, free of active shutdown alarms and left in AUTO. That matters most where an outage would otherwise stop a sump pump, the heating, refrigeration or a well pump while the house is empty.
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.
