Paul from Freehold, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2019. The 20 kW Generac standby was installed by another company in February of 2013, and in 2019 the servicing switched to Green Sun. We carried out the six-year, seven-year, eight-year and nine-year services between 2019 and 2022: spark plug and air filter, oil and filter, battery inspection, load testing and a full performance check each time. The meter read 95 hours at the first visit and 196 at the last, so the machine had run about a hundred hours covering the house in between. It is wired through a managed whole-house transfer switch, so the entire property stays live in an outage rather than a short list of selected circuits.

Standby generator questions from Freehold homeowners
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.
Does a propane generator need permits in Freehold?
A permanently installed propane generator normally requires construction permits, and the propane installation has to satisfy the applicable fuel-gas and LP-gas requirements. Tank placement, capacity, piping, regulators, setbacks and fire-safety provisions all come under review.
What does the automatic transfer switch do?
It moves the home's electrical supply between the utility and the generator. That is what lets the system work automatically, and it is also what prevents the house being connected to both sources at once. It is the piece that makes the rest safe.
