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.

11 kW Generac standby generator in Farmingdale, NJ

Standby Generator Installation in Farmingdale, NJ | An 11 kW Generator Running Since 2014

William from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2014. The generator was commissioned that November: 11 kW in a steel enclosure on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with two priority management modules. The load calculation asked for 11 kW across the 1,900 square foot house, with a double electric oven doing most of the work in that figure, so the machine matches the requirement exactly rather than exceeding it. Twelve years on it is still under an annual maintenance plan. Sizing to the calculation rather than above it is the cheaper […]

29-panel 11.6 kW solar array in Holmdel, NJ

Standby Generator Installation and Solar Panel Installation in Holmdel, NJ | That Steps Aside

Shince in Holmdel has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2022. The standby generator was commissioned on 16 March 2023 and the solar array five days later. A 22 kW machine, three modules: The house is 3,000 square feet on a 200-amp service and its electrical calculation comes to 25,456 watts. Air conditioning is 6,000 of that. An electric vehicle charger accounts for a large part of the rest, and it is the load that makes this installation worth describing. The machine is a Generac Guardian 22 kW, model 7042-2, delivering 19.5 kW on natural gas,

16 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ

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

John from Middletown, 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 100-amp smart management module, sized against a 13 kW calculation for the 2,164 square foot house. The management module here is rated at 100 amps rather than the usual 50, which is the arrangement used when the load being held back is a large one – typically central air conditioning, the single biggest thing a house asks a generator to start. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor

16 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ

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

Thomas from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The generator was commissioned in March of 2021: 16 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp service-entrance switch, sized against a 14 kW calculation for the 2,375 square foot house. A sump pump, two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher make up the load. Seven months passed between the contract and the commissioning, which was normal for a generator booked in the second half of 2020 – demand ran well ahead of what manufacturers could ship, and the

20 kW Generac standby generator in Scotch Plains, NJ

20 kW Standby Generator Installation in Scotch Plains, NJ | Generac Generator

Marty from Scotch Plains, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2013, which puts this among the oldest generator relationships on the site. The machine was commissioned that September: 20 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with two priority management modules. The load survey lists two electric ovens, two sump pumps, two refrigerators, a washer and a gas dryer across 3,800 square feet – the calculation came to 11 kW, so the generator was specified at nearly twice the requirement. Two sump pumps is the detail that justifies the margin: both may

100-amp automatic transfer switch 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

10 kW Generac standby generator in Fair Haven, NJ

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 –

200-amp automatic transfer switch in Allentown, NJ

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

28-panel 6.58 kW solar array in Farmingdale, NJ

Solar Panel and Standby Generator Installation in Farmingdale, NJ | 6.58 kW Array and a 17 kW Generac

Linda in Farmingdale has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2011, which puts this account in the company’s first year of trading. The array was commissioned that October and the standby generator followed in the spring of 2013. 28 panels, commissioned October 2011: Twenty-eight panels, 6.58 kW in total — 235 watts apiece, which is what a module produced in 2011 — with an Enphase M215 microinverter behind each one. Estimated first-year production is 7,976 kWh and the utility is JCP&L. The mounting is a Zep system, which is worth a note because it is no

Softwash Service and Standby Generator Service in Red Bank, NJ

Silver-Plan Servicing and a Soft Wash in Red Bank, NJ

Annamaria in Red Bank has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2018. The generator on this property is not one we installed, and in May 2026 we washed the house as well. Taking on a 2015 machine in 2018: The Generac here is a 22 kW, model 6551, commissioned by another company in October 2015. It had run for two and a half years before the servicing came to us. That gap matters more than it sounds. A standby generator spends almost all of its life not running, which means the things that go wrong with

20 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ

Generac 20 kW Standby Generator in Middletown, NJ | 4,900 Sq. Ft. Covered

Innovative Advocate, Inc in Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2018.
