Daryl and Christopher from Forked River, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since January of 2020. The generator was commissioned that April: 13 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp managed whole-house switch, matching a 13 kW calculation for the 2,021 square foot house exactly. A sump pump, two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher make up the load. Forked River sits on Barnegat Bay in Lacey Township, where the storms that take the power out arrive off the water and the lines they bring down run through the same trees that make the streets pleasant. Annual maintenance, a ten-year extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind the machine.
Why Daryl and Christopher chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Forked River homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Forked River home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
How much space does a generator need in front of it?
For applicable air-cooled installations, roughly three feet of unobstructed clearance at the front, for airflow and for servicing. Fences, shrubs and stored materials should not intrude into that space. Newer models should be checked against their own current manual.
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
