Brian from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2020. Two very different jobs on one house, five years apart.
The generator
A Generac 5887 rated 20 kW on propane and 18 kW on natural gas, running on natural gas, feeding a 90-amp transfer switch. It was installed in December of 2012 by another company. Green Sun took it on in March of 2020 and has serviced it every year since – April in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, March of 2025 and February of 2026. Seven consecutive visits on a machine now well over a decade old, which is the whole reason it is still the machine and not a replacement.
Holiday lighting
Two hundred and ten C9 bulbs along the roofline, warm white at 2700K, installed in November of 2025. This was the first season, so the run was measured and cut for this roof rather than adapted from something off a shelf. The lights are Green Sun’s own and are taken down, stored and put back up each year, which means the measuring is done once.
Why Brian chose Green Sun Energy Services
A professionally designed holiday display without climbing a single ladder.
We keep your generator ready before the power goes out.

Questions from Middletown homeowners
Holiday lightingCan a display survive a Middletown winter?
Outdoor-rated professional lighting is made for seasonal exterior exposure when installed to its listing and the manufacturer's instructions. Connections still have to be kept out of unsafe moisture. High winds can dislodge lighting where a clip or attachment fails, and heavy ice puts unusual stress on wires, clips, branches and gutters — frozen wiring should never be pulled on.
Holiday lightingDo professional installers provide in-season service?
Many do, and this is one of the biggest advantages of a full-service program. Ask whether service calls, bulb replacement, storm repairs, and response times are included.
Holiday lightingCan Christmas lights interfere with solar production?
Roofline lights typically have little effect on solar production if they do not shade or cover panels. Wires and decorations should not lie across module surfaces or block drainage.
Standby generatorHow much space is needed at the ends of the generator?
Applicable air-cooled installation instructions commonly require about three feet at the ends. That space protects cooling airflow, exhaust operation and the access a technician needs to work on the machine. The model-specific manual controls.
Standby generatorWhat does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
