Alan from Toms River, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2023. The generator was commissioned that December: 18 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module and surge protection. The load calculation asked for 15 kW across the 1,786 square foot house, with an electric oven the appliance lifting the figure above what the floor area alone suggests. Toms River is the largest town in Ocean County and its power comes down the same wooded streets that make it pleasant to live on, which is the trade every inland town makes. The machine sits comfortably above the requirement rather than at it.
Why Alan chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Toms River homeowners
Can the generator be connected to any nearby gas pipe?
No. The branch supplying the generator has to be sized for the flow and pressure the machine needs. A pipe that happens to be close by may be too small, or may already be carrying too much load. Undersized piping shows up as poor starting, unstable running, reduced output or a generator that shuts down under load.
Can a generator be installed in a flood zone in Toms River?
Yes, but the generator and its electrical equipment may need to be elevated or otherwise protected. The installation is evaluated against the property's FEMA flood zone, its Base Flood Elevation and Design Flood Elevation, the municipal flood ordinance, any applicable freeboard, and NJDEP requirements where they apply. It is a property-by-property assessment rather than a rule of thumb.
What happens if the manufacturer and Toms River disagree?
The installation has to satisfy all applicable requirements. A manufacturer's listing cannot be ignored, and a manufacturer's minimum clearance does not cancel a municipal zoning requirement. Where requirements conflict or the interpretation is uncertain, the Authority Having Jurisdiction is consulted before the work goes in rather than after.
