Eugene from Monroe Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2018. The 20 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in March of 2013, and Eugene moved its servicing to us five years later. Every interval since has been carried out — the three-year service through to the nine-year, the most recent completed in October of 2024 with 193.8 hours on the meter and the fuel plenum inspected and clear of rust — along with a battery replacement. Batteries are the commonest reason a standby generator fails to start, and they are a consumable rather than a fault: replacing one at the right moment is the difference between a machine that starts and a machine that only intends to.
Why Eugene chose Green Sun Energy Services
We keep your generator ready before the power goes out.

Standby generator questions from Monroe Township homeowners
Will a 20 kW generator run an entire Monroe Township house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
Can the generator run the propane tank right down?
It is a poor outage plan. Propane should be monitored and topped up before the generator runs out. Usable capacity is not the same as the tank's nominal water capacity, and cold weather reduces how much vapour the tank can deliver just when the machine is working hardest.
Will a larger gas meter be needed?
Possibly. A generator can significantly increase a home's maximum gas demand. If the existing meter or service cannot hold the required pressure while supplying the generator and the other appliances together, the gas utility may require an upgrade.
