Harold from Freehold, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2026. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in November of 2020, and the servicing came to us five and a half years later, beginning with the six-year service. Six years is the point at which a standby generator has outlived its original warranty and whatever attention came with it, and the question becomes simply whether anybody is still opening the enclosure once a year. An annual maintenance plan and an extended parts-and-labor warranty now sit behind the machine.

Standby generator questions from Freehold homeowners
Will a 22 kW generator run an entire Freehold 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.
How quickly does it take over?
The automatic start sequence normally begins within seconds of the controller deciding that utility power has failed or fallen outside acceptable limits. There is a deliberate short delay so that a momentary flicker does not trigger a full start and transfer. Exact timing depends on the controller, the transfer switch and the configuration.
Can the generator stay connected during a pressure test?
The machine has to be protected from test pressures beyond what its fuel controls are built to withstand. The fuel-gas code sets out when appliances are disconnected or isolated for testing, and the plumbing contractor follows both that code and the generator's installation instructions.
