Standby Generator Installation

When the power goes out, a standby generator starts on its own. It is wired into the house and runs on natural gas or propane, so there is nothing to drag out of the garage and nothing to fill in the dark. Below are standby generators we have installed at homes across New Jersey. Each one shows the unit that went in, the transfer switch behind it and the town it is in, and where the homeowner left a review you will find that too. If you are trying to work out what size you need, this is a good place to start.

621 completed standby generator projects across 123 New Jersey towns, including 123 with a review written by the customer.

Standby Generator Installation and Standby Generator Service in Atlantic Highlands, NJ

22 kW Standby Generator Installation in Atlantic Highlands, NJ | Generac Generator

Diane from Atlantic Highlands, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2024. The generator was commissioned that November: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with three smart management modules and surge protection. The load calculation asked for 14 kW across the 2,490 square foot house, so there is a wide margin over the requirement. Atlantic Highlands sits on the highest ground on the Atlantic coast south of Maine, and elevation cuts both ways – the flooding risk is lower than the bayfront towns nearby, but the wind

18 kW Standby Generator Installation in Hillsborough, NJ | Whole-House Backup

Carol from Hillsborough, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2022. The generator was commissioned in April of 2023: a Generac Guardian rated 17 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module and surge protection. The load calculation asked for 16 kW across the 2,900 square foot house, carrying two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher. Cold storage is the quiet argument for backup power – a freezer that stays cold through a three-day outage saves more than most people expect, and one

18 kW Generac standby generator in Eatontown, NJ

18 kW Standby Generator Installation in Eatontown, NJ | Generac Generator

Andrea from Eatontown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2021. The generator was commissioned a year later, in June of 2022: a Generac Guardian rated 17 kW on natural gas, on a 100-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module. A 100-amp service is the constraint that shapes a job like this – the house has less headroom to work with than a modern 200-amp panel, so the management module is what makes whole-house coverage possible at all rather than an optional refinement. The calculation asked for 13 kW across 2,510 square feet, with

Roofing Installation, Solar Panel Installation and Standby Generator Installation in Manasquan, NJ

Solar, Roofing and Standby Generator Installation in Manasquan, NJ | Three Projects Inside Six Weeks

Robert and Sharon from Manasquan, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since October of 2014, and took on three projects inside six weeks the following spring – roof, generator and array, in that order. A new roof in oyster gray: Finished on 18 March 2015: a single layer of shingles stripped to the sheathing and carted away rather than roofed over, then new composition shingle in oyster gray, warranted fifty years. The survey done for the array is what turned the roof into the first job rather than a later one: it found the existing roof due for

Standby Generator Installation in Fair Haven, NJ | Essential Circuits Backup

Ronald and Robin from Fair Haven, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since May of 2024. The generator was commissioned that July, and it is an essential-circuits installation rather than whole-house: ten circuits carried through from the existing manual transfer switch, plus the garage breaker, into an indoor transfer switch. That is the honest answer for a 1,616 square foot house where the priority is the sump pump, the refrigerator, the furnace controls and enough light to live by, rather than running everything at once. Naming the circuits in advance is the whole point of the approach –

22 kW Standby Generator Installation in Allentown, NJ | Whole-House Backup

Wendy from Allentown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The generator was commissioned that September, a month after the paperwork: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, outdoors beside the meter, with a 200-amp service-entrance switch and a smart management module. The load calculation asked for 17 kW across 3,900 square feet, carrying an electric oven and an electric dryer alongside two refrigerators, a freezer, a washer and a dishwasher. An all-electric kitchen and laundry is what makes the difference here – each of those appliances draws several times what its

Mary from Cranford, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2018. The generator was commissioned in February of 2019: a Generac Guardian rated 18 kW on natural gas, outdoors beside the meter, with a 100-amp service-entrance switch and a smart management module. The load calculation asked for 18 kW across the 2,000 square foot house, and the double electric oven and heat pump between them account for most of that – both are heavy draws, and the heat pump is heaviest in the moment it starts rather than while it runs. Two refrigerators, a washer,
