Martin from Fair Haven, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2026. We installed a 22 kW Generac in June, making 21 kW on the natural gas it runs on here, switching the whole house through a 200-amp service-entrance transfer switch with surge protection built in. At 3,800 square feet this is a large house, and the code calculation put the minimum at 16 kW, so the machine that went in carries a comfortable margin above what the arithmetic required. Two refrigerators and a sump pump are the loads that decide whether an outage is an inconvenience or a problem, and load management modules keep the heaviest of them from starting against each other. Our top service plan supports it, with annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and remote monitoring that Green Sun manages directly.
A service plan for the standby generator
With the 22 kW Generac in place, Martin added a service plan that keeps the machine maintained and covered well beyond the installation itself. The plan includes an annual maintenance visit, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and remote monitoring that Green Sun manages directly.
The generator carries a 5-year limited warranty from Generac and a 5-year limited workmanship warranty from Green Sun Energy Services. The service plan layers onto that foundation, so the equipment and the coverage move forward together.
On the compliance side, the installation met NJAC 5:23-3.16 requirements, which called for a grounding rod and an intersystem bonding bridge, along with a number 4 AWG copper ground wire run from the water main to the service entrance main — work that is part of the completed record for this house.
Why Martin chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Fair Haven homeowners
Which fuel-gas code applies?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
Can a generator be installed on a deck or a roof?
Platform, deck and supporting-structure installations are recognized, but they call for additional review: structural capacity, noncombustible surface requirements, fire clearance, exhaust, airflow, vibration, service access and local requirements all have to be addressed. It is a site-specific installation rather than a routine location.
Why does the generator run when the power is on?
It is performing its automatic exercise cycle, which confirms basic engine operation and keeps the machine ready. A generator can also start because utility voltage has become abnormal even though the power has not gone off completely -- the controller watches the quality of the supply, not simply whether it is absent.
