Janice from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2022. The generator was commissioned that August: 18 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module and surge protection, sized against a 13 kW calculation for the 2,000 square foot house. One condition was set out precisely before the work: a section of pavers measuring 55 by 34 inches had to come up where the generator would sit. Specifying the exact dimensions rather than saying clear the area is the difference between a household knowing what to arrange and guessing at it – and a pad set on ground that was not properly prepared is a problem that shows up years later, not on the day. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind the machine.
Why Janice chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Aberdeen homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Aberdeen?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
What fuel does a home standby generator use?
Most residential air-cooled standby generators are designed to run on either natural gas or vapour-withdrawn liquid propane. The generator and its fuel system have to be configured for whichever is chosen, and the required pressure, capacity and consumption figures depend on the model.
