Tony from Monmouth Junction, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2020. The generator was commissioned in April of 2021, sized against a 21 kW calculation for a 6,000 square foot house. Four sump pumps is the most on any survey on the site, and it changes what an outage means entirely: a basement needing four pumps has water arriving faster than one or two can move, and all four will be running in the storm that also takes the power down. Two dishwashers, two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a washer and a gas dryer complete the load. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind the machine.
Why Tony chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Monmouth Junction homeowners
Does the residential building code apply to a generator?
It can. For applicable one- and two-family dwellings New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Residential Code, subject to state amendments. Structural and flood-related generator installations may therefore need review under the residential subcode as well as the electrical and fuel requirements.
How close to the house can a generator sit in Monmouth Junction?
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.
Will a larger gas meter be needed?
Possibly. A generator can significantly increase a home's maximum gas demand. If the existing meter or service cannot hold the required pressure while supplying the generator and the other appliances together, the gas utility may require an upgrade.
