Chris from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2018. He and Einav signed in late August and the generator was running by the second week of October, a 16 kW Generac on a pad behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch with a management module to keep the largest load in check. A Generac service contract has kept it maintained through the years since, which is the difference between a generator that starts and one that used to. Holmdel is in Monmouth County, where we have installed standby power on a great many streets.
We are very happy with service from Green Sun Energy. They are very courteous and responsive!
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Chris. Responsive is the part that matters most after installation day. The 16 kW Generac at your home in Holmdel runs through a service-rated transfer switch, so the house changes over without anyone touching anything, and our job from then on is to answer quickly when you call. Glad that has held up.
Why Chris chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Holmdel 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.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Holmdel 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.
