Richard from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2024. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in August of 2016, and the servicing came to us eight years later. The eight-year service was completed in September of 2024 and the nine-year service in September of 2025. By that point in a machine’s life the parts that fail are rarely the dramatic ones – it is the battery, the plugs and the oil that decide whether it starts, and all three are consumables that quietly pass their date whether or not anybody is looking. An annual maintenance plan covers the yearly visit.

Standby generator questions from Lincroft homeowners
What size standby generator does a Lincroft home need?
The correct size is decided by the electrical loads the generator is expected to run, not by the square footage of the house. Central air, heat pumps, electric heat, well and sump pumps, refrigerators and freezers, electric ranges and dryers, pool equipment and EV chargers all count. Where a load is connected automatically, the generator either has the capacity for it or an approved load-management system controls it.
Does a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
How much clearance is needed above a generator?
Applicable air-cooled guidance requires roughly five feet of overhead clearance from structures, overhangs and projections. That is what rules out a good many low decks, roof overhangs and alcoves as generator locations, and it is worth establishing early rather than after a site is chosen.
