Patrick from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2021. The generator was commissioned that October: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module. The load calculation asked for 17 kW across the 2,800 square foot house, carrying a sump pump, a refrigerator, a separate freezer, an electric oven, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher. Six months between booking and commissioning is normal on a generator rather than a delay: the gas line, the electrical work and the township inspection all have to line up, and the machine cannot be signed off until the last of them does. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.
Why Patrick chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Farmingdale?
Yes, when the well pump is included in the design. A private well pump is electric, so without power there is no running water at all -- a different order of problem from losing the lights. Homes on a well are among the clearest cases for standby power, and the pump belongs on the load list from the start.
What is a sediment trap for?
It helps stop foreign material in the gas line from reaching the generator's fuel controls. Where the fuel-gas code and the system configuration call for one, it is fitted, and the maintenance schedule includes inspecting or cleaning it.
Does a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
