Kevin from Sea Girt, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2021. The generator was commissioned that December: 18 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with three smart management modules, sized against a 17 kW calculation for the 3,300 square foot house. Ten months separated the contract from the commissioning, which was the shape of generator work through that period – the permit, the utility gas connection and the equipment lead time all ran in sequence rather than together. Sea Girt sits directly on the ocean, where a storm that takes the power out is usually the same storm carrying salt across everything left outdoors. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind it.
Why Kevin chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Sea Girt homeowners
How is the gas pipe size worked out?
From the generator's demand, the available pressure, the pipe length, the allowable pressure drop, the fittings, the pipe material and every other appliance connected to the system. The adopted fuel-gas code carries the sizing requirements and tables, and the model's published fuel consumption goes into the calculation.
What fuel does a home standby generator use?
Most residential air-cooled standby generators are designed to run on either natural gas or vapour-withdrawn liquid propane. The generator and its fuel system have to be configured for whichever is chosen, and the required pressure, capacity and consumption figures depend on the model.
Why do outages last longer on some Sea Girt streets than others?
Mature tree cover over overhead lines is the usual reason. Limbs coming down in wind, snow or ice take the lines with them, so heavily treed streets tend to see both more frequent outages and longer restoration times than open ones. It is one of the honest arguments for standby power rather than a portable generator.
