Ken from Fair Haven, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2026. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned at the end of 2024, and the servicing came to us just over a year later with the two-year service. Monitoring was set up the same week, which is what turns a weekly self-test into something that reports its own result rather than a noise in the garden nobody is listening for. Fair Haven sits on the Navesink River, where the trees that make the streets pleasant are the same ones that come down on the lines in a storm. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and the monitoring all sit behind the machine.

Standby generator questions from Fair Haven homeowners
What is Base Flood Elevation and why does it matter here?
Base Flood Elevation is the elevation associated with the base flood -- generally the flood with a one percent chance of being reached or exceeded in any year. For a generator it is often the starting point for working out how high the mechanical and electrical equipment has to be protected or raised.
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.
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
