Dilip from North Brunswick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2025. The generator was installed by another company and commissioned in January of 2023, and the servicing came to us just under three years later with the two-year service. Two to three years is an early point to take a machine on, and it is the best one: nothing has been neglected yet, so the record starts clean rather than with a list of things to put right first. An annual maintenance plan now covers the yearly visit, with the manufacturer’s standard warranty behind the machine.

Standby generator questions from North Brunswick homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a North Brunswick 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.
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.
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.
