Kevin from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2018. His 22 kW Generac from the 7000 series was installed by another company in April of that year, and he brought the servicing to us five months later on a Silver plan. Coming to us that soon after an installation usually means the first annual visit had to be arranged by the owner rather than the installer. Hazlet is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Hazlet homeowners
Will a 22 kW generator run an entire Hazlet 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.
Does the generator have to be bolted down?
Not every ground-level installation uses the same anchoring method. The requirement changes with the model, the pad type, wind exposure, flood requirements, elevated platforms and any local engineering requirement. The model manual and the site conditions decide it.
What is the main line circuit breaker on a generator?
It is the generator's primary AC output breaker. Worth knowing because if it is open the engine can run without delivering any power through the transfer system -- a machine that sounds like it is working while the house stays dark.
