Alexandria from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2021. The generator was commissioned in July of 2022: 17 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp managed whole-house switch with a smart management module and surge protection, sized against a 13 kW calculation for the 1,900 square foot house. Two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher make up the load, so the machine carries a comfortable margin over what the calculation required. Sixteen months separated the contract from the commissioning, which was the shape of generator work through that period – permits, utility scheduling and equipment lead times all ran in sequence rather than together. Servicing is arranged as and when rather than on a schedule.
Why Alexandria chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Aberdeen homeowners
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
What happens if the manufacturer and Aberdeen 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.
What actually gets done at a service visit?
It depends on the model, the age and the interval, but typically engine oil and filter, air filter, spark plug inspection or replacement, battery inspection, a fuel-system leak check, sediment-trap inspection, valve clearance where applicable, and inspection of the enclosure and intakes.
