Marie from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The generator was commissioned in January of 2021: 16 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp service-entrance switch with four smart management modules and surge protection. The load calculation asked for 14 kW across the 3,018 square foot house – a sump pump, a double electric oven, two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher. Four modules on a 16 kW machine is a deliberate choice: rather than buying a larger generator to cover everything starting at once, the modules stagger the heavy loads so a smaller machine carries the whole house. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind it.
Why Marie chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Tinton Falls homeowners
Does the generator start on its own?
Yes. A properly installed standby generator left in AUTO is designed to start automatically when it detects an unacceptable loss of utility power. The transfer system then moves the household loads across, and when acceptable utility power returns it transfers them back and the generator runs through its programmed shutdown.
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.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Tinton Falls 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.
