Phyllis from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2013. She and John signed two days before Christmas and the generator was commissioned in the middle of March, an 11 kW Generac in a steel enclosure behind a 150-amp service-rated transfer switch with two power management modules. It carries 2,000 square feet, two refrigerators, a freezer, the laundry and a sump pump. Lincroft is in Monmouth County, where the tree cover is generous and the power lines pay for it.
Why Phyllis chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Lincroft 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.
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Lincroft?
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.
How far does a generator have to be from a window or door?
Manufacturer guidance requires substantial separation from operable windows, doors, vents and other openings through which exhaust could enter the house -- commonly five feet for the applicable air-cooled configurations. The exact model's current installation manual has to be checked before a location is approved.
