Cynthia from Chatham, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2021. The generator was commissioned that October. The load calculation asked for 15 kW and the machine fitted is rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, which leaves room for the heat pump and the two sump pumps to start without the rest of the house noticing. It carries the whole house on a 200-amp service, managed so the largest loads cannot all draw at once, and it is supported by our top-tier service plan: an annual service visit, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and remote monitoring we manage directly.
Why Cynthia chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Chatham homeowners
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.
How close to the house can a generator sit in Chatham?
For the air-cooled models covered by the manufacturer's listed installation guidance, the rear of the generator can be as close as eighteen inches to a qualifying structure when every condition of that listing is met. That eighteen inches is a tested installation dimension, not a zoning setback, and a municipality can require more.
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.
