Stefanie from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2019. The 22 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in June of 2018, and Stefanie moved its servicing to us within the year, adding an extended parts-and-labor warranty at the same time. Every scheduled interval has been done since without a break — the one-year check through to the eight-year, the most recent completed in March of 2026 with 209 hours on the meter and the fuel plenum inspected and clear of rust. The generator remains under one of our annual service plans. Picking a machine up in its first year and never missing an interval is the version of this that costs the least over a decade, because nothing is ever being caught up on.

Standby generator questions from Lincroft homeowners
Why do outages last longer on some Lincroft streets than others?
Mature tree cover over overhead lines is the usual reason. Limbs coming down in wind, snow or ice take the lines with them, so heavily treed streets tend to see both more frequent outages and longer restoration times than open ones. It is one of the honest arguments for standby power rather than a portable generator.
Does a generator need a concrete pad?
Not universally. Approved alternative support systems are permitted for applicable models. Concrete or an engineered platform may still be required because of the site conditions, flood requirements, anchoring, municipal requirements or structural design -- but it is not automatic.
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.
