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.

916 completed generator service projects across 142 New Jersey towns, including 153 with a review written by the customer.

8 kW Generac standby generator in Hazlet, NJ

8 kW Standby Generator Installation in Hazlet, NJ | An Essential-Circuits Machine on a 50-Amp Switch

Maryann and Robert from Hazlet, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since October of 2013. A Generac rated 8 kW on propane and 7 kW on natural gas went in that January, running on natural gas behind a 50-amp transfer switch. That is an essential-circuits installation rather than whole-house backup – heat, refrigeration, a few lights and the circuits that matter in a storm – and it went in during a hard winter, which is a difficult time to be working on the outside of a house.

16 kW Generac standby generator in Farmingdale, NJ

16 kW Standby Generator Installation in Farmingdale, NJ | Sized for 1,980 Square Feet on a 200-Amp Switch

Alex from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2014. A Generac rated 16 kW went in that January, running on natural gas behind a 200-amp automatic transfer switch, with 1,980 square feet of living space behind it on the load survey. The switch takes the whole service rather than a selected group of circuits, so nothing about the house has to be ranked or set aside when the power goes.

16 kW Generac standby generator in Jackson, NJ

16 kW Standby Generator Installation in Jackson, NJ | Sized for 2,550 Square Feet on a 200-Amp Switch

Carol from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. A Generac Guardian rated 16 kW went in the following March, running on natural gas behind a 200-amp automatic transfer switch. The load survey put 2,550 square feet of living space behind it. The switch is sized to the whole service rather than to a chosen group of circuits, which means nothing had to be decided in advance about which rooms matter during a storm.

100-amp automatic transfer switch in Morganville, NJ

17 kW Standby Generator Installation in Morganville, NJ | Whole-House Standby With Load Management

Jeannie from Morganville, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2025. The generator was commissioned in January of 2026, rated 17 kW on natural gas where the load calculation asked for 15 kW. The house has a 100-amp service, the smaller end of what a whole-house transfer switch usually sits on, so a load-management module went in alongside it: the electric range and the other large loads are held apart rather than allowed to arrive together. Our top-tier plan supports the machine, with an annual visit, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage directly.

26 kW Generac standby generator in Howell, NJ

22.5 kW Standby Generator Installation in Howell, NJ | A Replacement Machine, and a Double Oven Set the Number

Lisa from Howell, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2019. The servicing of a standby generator another company had installed came to us that month, and in March of 2024 the machine itself was replaced with a Generac model 7290, rated 22.5 kW on natural gas against a load calculation asking for 22 kW. Most of the 5,200 square feet runs on gas – two furnaces, the cooktop, the water heater and the dryer – so it is the double electric oven that accounts for much of what the generator has to carry.

Solar Panel Installation, Standby Generator Installation and Standby Generator Service in Farmingdale, NJ

Standby Generator Installation and Solar Panel Installation in Farmingdale, NJ | In 2012 and a Generator in 2013

Lon in Farmingdale has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2012. The array came first and the standby generator followed the next summer. 37 panels in November 2012: Thirty-seven Canadian Solar 245-watt panels, 9.07 kW in total, on Zep Solar mounting with an Enphase M215 microinverter behind each one and a GE production meter. Estimated first-year production is 10,136 kWh and the utility is JCP&L. It was commissioned on 25 November 2012. The panel rating is worth pausing on. Thirty-seven panels to reach nine kilowatts is what 2012 looked like; a 245-watt module was a perfectly

14 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ

14 kW Standby Generator Installation in Middletown, NJ | Generac Generator

Mike from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2021. The generator was commissioned that August: 14 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module, sized against a 15 kW calculation for the 2,442 square foot house. Two heat pumps are what put the calculated figure above the machine, and the management module is what reconciles the two – each compressor draws several times its running load in the instant it starts, and the module makes sure they never do it together. Bollards were agreed in advance as

200-amp automatic transfer switch in Red Bank, NJ

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

Jaymie from Red Bank, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2021. The generator was commissioned in April of 2022: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module. The load calculation asked for 17 kW across the 2,500 square foot house – a sump pump, an electric oven, two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher – so the machine carries a comfortable margin over the requirement. Eight months separated the contract from the commissioning, the permit and utility work of that

16 kW Generac standby generator in Asbury Park, NJ

Solar, a Generator and Soft Washing in Asbury Park

Dimitra from Asbury Park, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2016, and has come back twice since. The generator and the array were booked on the same day and finished within a week of each other. The soft wash came nine years later. A 16 kW Generac in a steel enclosure: Commissioned on 5 November 2016. The load calculation asked for a minimum of 12 kW under NEC Article 220 Part IV and a 16 kW machine went in, on a 200-amp managed whole-house transfer switch. The house is 2,400 square feet with a

electrical panel in Colonia, NJ

22 kW Standby Generator Installation in Colonia, NJ | Generac Generator

Jaclyn from Colonia, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2021. The generator was commissioned in February of 2022: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with two smart management modules. The load calculation asked for 15 kW across the 3,000 square foot house, so the machine carries a comfortable margin – and two sump pumps are the reason that margin is worth having, since both will want to run in exactly the storm that takes the power down. Nine months separated the contract from the commissioning, the

16 kW Generac standby generator in Kenilworth, NJ

16 kW Standby Generator Installation in Kenilworth, NJ | Whole-House Backup

Daniel from Kenilworth, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2019. The generator was commissioned that October: 16 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp whole-house transfer switch, sized against a 16 kW calculation for 4,000 square feet. A sump pump, two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher make up the load, and the machine matches the requirement exactly rather than carrying a margin above it. Sizing to the number is the decision that leans hardest on the survey being right, and seven years of the machine carrying the house is the

18 kW Generac standby generator in Freehold, NJ

Standby Generator Installation and Roofing Installation in Freehold, NJ | 18 kW of Backup

A new roof in May: Eric in Freehold has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2024. He booked the roof and the standby generator on the same day. The old shingles came off down to the sheathing and went into a dumpster, and 3,400 square feet went back on: GAF roof deck protection over the bare sheathing, ice shield three feet up from every gutter edge and through all the valleys, GAF Pro-Start along the eaves and rakes, aluminum drip edge, and GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in charcoal, finished with ridge vent along the ridges.
