Sandra from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2019. She and Keith signed in the middle of October and the generator was commissioned on the fourteenth of January, a 16 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch. It covers 2,500 square feet with two refrigerators, a freezer, a dishwasher, a sump pump and two well pumps. Two wells means an outage takes the water as well as the lights, which is the clearest case for backup power there is. Jackson is in Ocean County.
Why Sandra chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Jackson homeowners
Does a standby generator need a permit in Jackson?
A permanently installed generator normally requires New Jersey Uniform Construction Code permits, because it involves permanent electrical and fuel work. Depending on the property and the municipality, building, zoning, floodplain, utility or fire-code review can also apply.
What actually gets done at a service visit?
It depends on the model, the age and the interval, but typically engine oil and filter, air filter, spark plug inspection or replacement, battery inspection, a fuel-system leak check, sediment-trap inspection, valve clearance where applicable, and inspection of the enclosure and intakes.
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Jackson property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
