Dorothy from Little Egg Harbor, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2021. The generator was commissioned that December: a Generac Guardian rated 17 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp whole-house transfer switch, sized against a 14 kW calculation for the 2,300 square foot house. Little Egg Harbor sits at the top of the bay behind Long Beach Island, and the storms that reach it arrive with the whole Atlantic behind them – which is why whole-house coverage made more sense here than nominating a handful of circuits to keep alive. Two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher all keep running. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.
Why Dorothy chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Little Egg Harbor homeowners
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 a standby generator backfeed the utility lines?
A properly installed and functioning automatic transfer system is designed to prevent it. That is the point of the transfer switch: it stops generator power reaching the utility supply, where it could endanger line workers and damage equipment. Backfeeding is a risk of improvised connections, not of a correctly installed system.
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Little Egg Harbor property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
