Glenn from Toms River, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2021. The generator was commissioned in May of 2022: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, feeding a GenReady load center in the basement with three smart management modules. A GenReady panel is a different approach from a transfer switch bolted next to the meter – the load center itself does the switching, which keeps the wiring tidier and puts the load management inside the panel where the circuits already are. The load calculation asked for 15 kW across 3,100 square feet, with two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher to carry. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.
Why Glenn chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Toms River 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 we plant shrubs or put a fence around the generator?
Yes, provided the planting or fence stays outside the required airflow and service clearances. Site-selection guidance treats shrubs, bushes and trees as part of the clear space around the machine, and clearance should be measured against how the planting will grow rather than how it looks the week it goes in. Local zoning may separately require screening.
Does a generator in Toms River have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
