Chris from Little Silver, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2020. The generator was commissioned the following May, rated 18 kW on natural gas where the load calculation asked for 16 kW. The house heats and cools on a heat pump, which makes backup power a year-round question rather than a winter one – without it the house loses its cooling in August and its heating in January. Two load-management modules hold the whole house inside a 150-amp service.
Why Chris chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Little Silver homeowners
Does every generator need a valve adjustment?
No. Valve-clearance requirements depend on the engine and the model. The technician identifies the model and serial number and follows the applicable maintenance schedule, rather than assuming every air-cooled machine gets the same procedure.
How deep does the electrical conduit have to be buried?
It depends on the wiring method and the location; there is no single burial depth for every installation. The National Electrical Code governs underground wiring and sets minimum cover in a table, and the conduit type, the location and the physical protection all change the answer.
What happens if the manufacturer and Little Silver 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.
