Gerald from Manasquan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2018. The 20 kW standby generator at the house had been in place since 2011, installed by another company, and Gerald moved its servicing to us seven years on. Four consecutive intervals followed — the two, three, four and five-year services, the last completed on the thirtieth of December 2021 with 189.6 hours on the meter and the fuel plenum inspected and clear of rust. Manasquan sits between the Manasquan River and the ocean, and a nor’easter there takes the power out for days rather than hours, which is what 190 hours on an hour meter looks like from the inside.
Why Gerald chose Green Sun Energy Services
We keep your generator ready before the power goes out.

Standby generator questions from Manasquan homeowners
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.
Does the transfer switch need flood protection as well as the generator?
Yes. A flood review should cover much more than the generator enclosure. FEMA recommends that a residential standby system consider elevation or protection of the generator, the transfer switch, the normal and emergency panels, the feeders and the control wiring together.
Can the generator stay connected during a pressure test?
The machine has to be protected from test pressures beyond what its fuel controls are built to withstand. The fuel-gas code sets out when appliances are disconnected or isolated for testing, and the plumbing contractor follows both that code and the generator's installation instructions.
