Michael from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2021. The generator was commissioned four days before Christmas that year, rated 17 kW on natural gas against a load calculation of 16 kW – a close match rather than a large margin, which is what the survey supported: a gas dryer, one refrigerator, and the oven as the heaviest electrical draw in the house. It carries the whole 2,750 square feet on a 200-amp service, and our top-tier plan covers it with an annual visit, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and remote monitoring we manage directly.
Why Michael chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Farmingdale property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
What is a sediment trap for?
It helps stop foreign material in the gas line from reaching the generator's fuel controls. Where the fuel-gas code and the system configuration call for one, it is fitted, and the maintenance schedule includes inspecting or cleaning it.
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.
