Carmine from Colts Neck, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2025. The 22 kW Generac at the house dates from August of 2021 and runs on natural gas behind a 100-amp transfer switch. Its first service under the plan was carried out that same October: spark plug and air filter, oil and filter, battery inspection, load testing and a full diagnostic check. Four years is about the point at which a standby generator starts rewarding a service schedule rather than tolerating none.

Standby generator questions from Colts Neck homeowners
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.
Can a standby generator be used instead of utility power?
Residential standby generators are intended for backup during outages rather than as a permanent substitute for normal utility service. Running through an extended outage is expected, but maintenance requirements become considerably more important during prolonged continuous use.
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Colts Neck?
Yes, when the well pump is included in the design. A private well pump is electric, so without power there is no running water at all -- a different order of problem from losing the lights. Homes on a well are among the clearest cases for standby power, and the pump belongs on the load list from the start.
