Standby Generator Service

A generator sits quietly for a year and then has to work on the one night it matters. That means the battery, the oil, the weekly test cycle and the transfer switch, all checked before the storm rather than during it. These are New Jersey homes we look after on a maintenance plan, and plenty of the generators on this list were installed by somebody else. Each one names the equipment on site and the town, so what you are reading is work we actually did rather than a list of what a plan covers.

939 completed generator service projects across 142 New Jersey towns, including 165 with a review written by the customer.

20 kW Generac standby generator in Cream Ridge, NJ

Standby Generator Installation and Holiday Lighting in Cream Ridge, NJ | 20 kW Generac

Adam from Cream Ridge, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2020, and came back for holiday lighting five years later. A 20 kW Generac on twin 200-amp switches: Commissioned on 25 September 2020. The calculation asked for a minimum of 17 kW under NEC Article 220 Part IV and a Generac rated 18 kW on natural gas went in – 20 kW were it running on propane – feeding two 200-amp service-rated transfer switches which between them cover a 400-amp service. Two switches rather than one is simply what 400 amps requires: there is

Paul from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2021. The generator was commissioned in February of 2022: 18 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp managed whole-house switch, sized against a 14 kW calculation for the 2,800 square foot house. A refrigerator, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher make up the load, so the machine carries a comfortable margin over what the calculation required. One condition was agreed before the work: three large bushes removed from the proposed generator position by the household. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring

Shannon from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2021. The generator was commissioned in July: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp managed whole-house switch, sized against an 18 kW calculation for the 2,330 square foot house. An electric dryer is what lifts the figure that high for a house that size – electric laundry asks more of a generator in a few minutes than the rest of a house does all day – with two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a sump pump, a washer and a dishwasher

16 kW Standby Generator Installation in Farmingdale, NJ | Generac Generator

Theresa from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2020. The generator was commissioned in November: 16 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 1,974 square foot house. A double electric oven is most of the reason a house that size needs that much – two elements drawing together approach the demand of everything else combined. A refrigerator, a separate freezer, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher complete the load, so the machine

Joann from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2021. The generator was commissioned in September: 16 kW on natural gas, on a managed whole-house switch, sized against a 16 kW calculation for the 1,900 square foot house. A double electric oven is most of the reason a house that size needs that much – two elements drawing together approach the demand of everything else combined – with a refrigerator, a separate freezer, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher completing the load. The machine is sized to carry the whole house rather than a

Standby Generator Installation in Farmingdale, NJ | Fitted to a Builder’s Transfer Switch

Linda from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2021. The generator was commissioned in December: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, sized against a 19 kW calculation for the 2,861 square foot house, with a double electric oven doing much of the work in that figure. This was a new house, and the arrangement was set out plainly in the contract: the home builder would supply, permit and install the 150-amp transfer switch, and Green Sun would fit the generator to it. Two contractors on one electrical system is where

Miguel from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2022. The generator was commissioned in January: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp managed whole-house switch with surge protection, sized against a 17 kW calculation for the 3,000 square foot house. Three sump pumps is the most on any survey on the site, and a house with three has settled the question of whether it needs backup power. One condition was agreed before the work: the household would seal the basement window where the generator was to sit. A

Standby Generator Installation in Browns Mills, NJ | Then a 200-Amp Service Upgrade

Emanuele from Browns Mills, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2020, and came back three years later. The generator was commissioned in September of 2020: 13 kW on natural gas, on a 100-amp managed whole-house switch, matching a 13 kW calculation for the 1,600 square foot house exactly. Three refrigerators and two sump pumps make up most of the load – a great deal of cold storage and a great deal of water for a house that size, and between them the whole argument for backup power. The service was upgraded to 200 amps

8 kW Standby Generator Service in Hazlet, NJ | Generac Generator

John from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2023. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in December of 2013, and the servicing came to us nearly ten years later. The ten-year service has been carried out every year since – 2023, 2024, 2025 and again this year, each a little earlier than the last. A machine now in its thirteenth year is well past the age at which most standby generators have been quietly forgotten, and the difference is entirely the record: nothing on it has gone longer than about

Patrick from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2021. The generator was commissioned in December, on a managed whole-house switch, sized against a 14 kW calculation for the 2,500 square foot house. Two conditions were set out before the work: bushes removed from in front of both the electric and the gas meter, and one disclosure that most quotations would leave unsaid. The household was advised in writing that the machine can only surge to within seven amps of the locked rotor amps needed to start their largest air conditioning condenser. That is

Standby Generator Service in Hazlet, NJ | Unbroken Generator Service, Client Since 2022

Dennis from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2022. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in February of 2017, and the servicing came to us five and a half years later. Every interval since has been kept without a gap – the five-year service in 2022, the six-year in 2023, the seven-year in 2024 and the visits that followed, each in late summer. Taking a machine on at five years is the middle case: the early services are behind it and the original warranty is largely spent, so what matters

Janine from Howell, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2020. The generator was commissioned that September: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp managed whole-house switch with a smart management module, sized against a 19 kW calculation for the 5,300 square foot house. The load survey is one of the heaviest on the site – two double electric ovens, two dishwashers, two sump pumps, two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a washer and a gas dryer. Two double ovens and two dishwashers usually means a second kitchen or a house
