Kerry from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2026. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in March of 2023, and the servicing came to us three years later. The first visit was the three-year service, completed in July of 2026, and cellular monitoring was set up within the fortnight. Fitting the monitoring at the same time as the first service is the sensible order: the visit establishes what condition the machine is actually in, and the monitoring keeps that picture current instead of letting it go stale until the next visit a year later. An annual maintenance plan, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and the monitoring all sit behind it now.

Standby generator questions from Lincroft homeowners
What should we do if it runs for more than a day?
Continuous running for twenty-four hours or more deserves attention. The manufacturer's continuous-use guidance covers a proper shutdown, an oil-level check, a leak inspection and maintenance based on the hours accumulated. Follow the safe shutdown procedure rather than opening or servicing a machine that is running.
Will a 24 kW generator run an entire Lincroft house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
Does the transfer switch need flood protection as well as the generator?
Yes. A flood review should cover much more than the generator enclosure. FEMA recommends that a residential standby system consider elevation or protection of the generator, the transfer switch, the normal and emergency panels, the feeders and the control wiring together.
