Brian from Interlaken, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2019. The generator was commissioned in March of 2020, and it is an essential-circuits installation rather than whole-house: named circuits carried through an outdoor-rated transfer switch, sized against a 13 kW calculation for the 2,526 square foot house. The air conditioning was deliberately placed at a lower priority than everything else in the switch, which is the honest trade a household makes on this approach – the sump pump, the refrigerators and the freezer come first, and cooling waits its turn. Deciding that in advance is the whole point: the alternative is discovering the order during a storm. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.
Why Brian chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Interlaken homeowners
Will the sump pump keep working if the power goes out?
It will if it is on the generator. This matters most in exactly the weather that causes outages: heavy rain and a power cut tend to arrive together, and a sump pump without power cannot keep a basement dry. A sump pump is one of the loads worth confirming during the survey rather than assuming.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Interlaken home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
What should we do if it runs for more than a day?
Continuous running for twenty-four hours or more deserves attention. The manufacturer's continuous-use guidance covers a proper shutdown, an oil-level check, a leak inspection and maintenance based on the hours accumulated. Follow the safe shutdown procedure rather than opening or servicing a machine that is running.
