William from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2014. The generator was commissioned that November: 11 kW in a steel enclosure on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with two priority management modules. The load calculation asked for 11 kW across the 1,900 square foot house, with a double electric oven doing most of the work in that figure, so the machine matches the requirement exactly rather than exceeding it. Twelve years on it is still under an annual maintenance plan. Sizing to the calculation rather than above it is the cheaper decision at the time and the one that depends most on the survey being right – and this one has been proved right by a decade of the machine actually carrying the house.
Always on time and reliable.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
How deep does the electrical conduit have to be buried?
It depends on the wiring method and the location; there is no single burial depth for every installation. The National Electrical Code governs underground wiring and sets minimum cover in a table, and the conduit type, the location and the physical protection all change the answer.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Farmingdale?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
