Tom from Ocean, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2020. The generator was installed by another company, and the servicing came to us at the six-year mark. Every interval since has been kept without a gap – the sixth-year visit in 2020, the seventh in 2021, the eighth in 2022 and the ninth in 2023, with the visits continuing after that. Six years is the point where a machine has outlived the attention that came with it, and what happens next is either a continuous record or none at all. Annual maintenance and a ten-year extended parts-and-labor warranty both sit behind it.
Why Tom chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Ocean homeowners
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.
Does a house with a generator still need surge protection?
Yes. A generator protects against the loss of utility power; it does nothing about a surge. Current electrical code includes surge protection for applicable dwelling services, so whole-house surge protection belongs in a properly designed generator installation rather than being treated as an extra.
What size standby generator does a Ocean home need?
The correct size is decided by the electrical loads the generator is expected to run, not by the square footage of the house. Central air, heat pumps, electric heat, well and sump pumps, refrigerators and freezers, electric ranges and dryers, pool equipment and EV chargers all count. Where a load is connected automatically, the generator either has the capacity for it or an approved load-management system controls it.
