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.

16 kW Generac standby generator in Hazlet, NJ

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

Dawn from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2020. The generator was commissioned in April of 2021: 16 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp service-entrance switch, sized against a 13 kW calculation for the 2,078 square foot house. Two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher make up the load, and the machine carries a comfortable margin over what the calculation required. Seven months separated the contract from the commissioning, which was the shape of generator work through that period – equipment lead times ran well past anything an installer

20 kW Generac standby generator in Rumson, NJ

Standby Generator Installation and EV Charger Installation in Rumson, NJ | 20 kW Generac

Anna from Rumson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020, and came back for a car charger four years later. The generator is the one people remember, and not for its size. A 20 kW Generac, and a window that had to stop opening: Commissioned on 25 February 2021. The calculation asked for a minimum of 14 kW under NEC Article 220 Part IV and a Generac rated 18 kW on natural gas went in – 20 kW on propane – behind a 200-amp managed whole-house transfer switch with a smart management module. The

Standby Generator Service in Belford, NJ

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

Matthew from Belford, 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 surge protection. The load calculation asked for 18 kW across the 2,000 square foot house, which is a great deal for that floor area – a well pump, two sump pumps and an electric dryer between them account for most of it. Three pumps is what makes backup power a necessity rather than a comfort here: no power means no water coming into

Standby Generator Service in Little Egg Harbor, NJ

Standby Generator and Solar Installation in Little Egg Harbor, NJ | Five Feet Off the Ground

Jonathan came to Green Sun Energy Services in October of 2019, as the owner of this Little Egg Harbor property. He signed for the solar array and the standby generator on the same day, and both were commissioned on the same day, 27 November 2019. He has since moved on from the house; the two systems are still there. Five feet off the ground: Most standby generators in this set sit on a composite pad at ground level. This one does not. It stands on a platform five feet high, built to the Uniform Construction Code before we arrived, and

22 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ

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

Kevin from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2021. The generator was commissioned in March of 2022, sized against an 18 kW calculation for the 2,600 square foot house, with an electric dryer and an electric oven among the appliances. One condition was set out plainly before the contract was signed: sections of the sheetrock ceiling would have to be cut open to pull the electrical runs through, with the household responsible for closing them up afterward. That is not a pleasant sentence to put in a quotation, and it is far better

Standby Generator Service in Farmingdale, NJ

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

James from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2024. The generator was commissioned that November, sized against a 17 kW calculation for the 3,092 square foot house, with a heat pump among the loads. The routing was specified by the household rather than left to the crew: solid PVC conduit from the transfer switch along the side of the house, transitioning to flexible only where it had to. Solid conduit looks better on a wall and lasts longer in weather than flex does, and it costs a little more labor to install –

Standby Generator Service in Matawan, NJ

16 kW Standby Generator Service in Matawan, NJ | Generac Generator

Patricia from Matawan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2019. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in August of 2018, and the servicing came to us a year later – early enough that the first-year service was our first visit rather than a catch-up on intervals already missed. Every interval since has been kept without a gap: the two-year in 2020, the three-year in 2021, the four-year in 2022 and onward. That first service is the one that matters most on a new machine – the break-in oil comes out and

Standby Generator Service in Tinton Falls, NJ

Standby Generator Installation in Tinton Falls, NJ | A 10 kW Essential-Circuits Generator Since 2013

Donna from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2012, which makes this among the oldest relationships on the site. The generator was commissioned in February of 2013: 10 kW on natural gas, feeding a twelve-circuit switch rather than the whole house – named circuits carried, with two refrigerators among them, across an 800 square foot property. Essential circuits is the approach that suits a small property with a modest requirement: the calculation came to 2 kW, and a ten-kilowatt machine covers the named circuits many times over without anybody paying for capacity

Standby Generator Service in Piscataway, NJ

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

Jarrett from Piscataway, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The generator was commissioned that December: 16 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module, matching a 15 kW calculation for the 3,000 square foot house. Two separate freezers alongside a refrigerator make up a good part of that figure, with an electric oven, a sump pump, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher completing it. Three pieces of cold storage is the quiet argument for backup power – the cost of a long outage is measured

Standby Generator Service in Farmingdale, NJ

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

Helen from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2024. The generator was commissioned that October: 18 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module and surge protection. The load calculation asked for 13 kW across the 2,066 square foot house, and a double electric oven is the appliance doing most of the work in that figure – two elements drawing together approach the demand of everything else in the house combined. The machine sits comfortably above the requirement rather than at it. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor

Standby Generator Service in Middletown, NJ

20 kW Standby Generator Service in Middletown, NJ | Generac Generator

Andrew from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2022. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in January of 2021, and the servicing came to us exactly a year later – early enough that the first-year service was our first proper visit rather than a catch-up on intervals already missed. A startup inspection and cellular monitoring were both set up the same day, and the first-year service followed that August. Monitoring on a machine we did not install is the part that changes what the year between visits looks like: the

16 kW Generac standby generator in Holmdel, NJ

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

Christian from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2020. The generator was commissioned in May of 2021: 16 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module, sized against a 13 kW calculation for the 2,400 square foot house. A sump pump, two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher make up the load. Seven months separated the contract from the commissioning, which was the shape of generator work through that period – equipment lead times ran well past what any installer could shorten. Annual maintenance,
