Helen from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2024. The generator was commissioned that October: 18 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module and surge protection. The load calculation asked for 13 kW across the 2,066 square foot house, and a double electric oven is the appliance doing most of the work in that figure – two elements drawing together approach the demand of everything else in the house combined. The machine sits comfortably above the requirement rather than at it. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind it.
Why Helen chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Can it start during a brownout when the power is not fully off?
Yes. The controller monitors whether the utility supply is acceptable, not merely whether voltage is present, so it can start while some lights and appliances still appear to be working. That is usually the explanation when a generator runs during severe utility-voltage problems.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Farmingdale?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
