Anthony from West Long Branch, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2017. His 16 kW Generac was installed by another company in August of 2015 and he switched the servicing to us eighteen months later. In 2021 we came back to relocate the machine, moving it and rewiring the 200-amp service-rated switch, which is the sort of job that comes up when an extension or a patio changes what sits where. West Long Branch is in Monmouth County.
Why Anthony chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from West Long Branch homeowners
Why can't a generator be wired straight into the panel?
Because a standby generator needs approved transfer or interconnection equipment so that it cannot unintentionally energise the utility supply. The transfer switch is one of the most important electrical-safety components in the whole installation, not an accessory to it.
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a West Long Branch 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.
