Kelly from Manahawkin, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2022. The generator was commissioned in December, sized against a 22 kW calculation for the 4,360 square foot house – four refrigerators, a double electric oven, a sump pump, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher. Four pieces of cold storage is the most on any survey on the site, and it changes what a long outage costs: the bill is measured in what has to be thrown away afterwards, and it lands whether anyone is home or not. Two conditions were agreed in advance – a holly bush removed from in front of the electric meter, and the ground levelled where the generator would sit. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind it.
Why Kelly chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Manahawkin homeowners
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
Can a generator go under a deck?
Only if the specific installation satisfies every requirement for overhead clearance, airflow, exhaust, fire separation, carbon-monoxide safety and service access. Because the applicable guidance commonly requires substantial overhead clearance, many ordinary under-deck locations will not qualify. It is a site-specific review rather than a standard placement.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Manahawkin?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
