Colin from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2018. He signed in early October and the generator was commissioned in the middle of December, an 11 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 100-amp service-rated switch. It covers 1,696 square feet with a refrigerator, a freezer, a dishwasher and the laundry, which is the practical list for a house this size. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. Hazlet is in Monmouth County.
Why Colin chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Hazlet homeowners
What should a Hazlet homeowner look for in a generator installer?
A contractor who can design, permit, install, commission, maintain and repair the whole system rather than one who sells the machine. That means generator sizing and transfer equipment, disconnect and shutdown requirements, grounding and bonding, the manufacturer's own installation requirements, gas or propane capacity and pressure, the model-specific clearances, the municipal zoning setbacks, windows and vents and carbon-monoxide entry points, flood requirements where they apply, permits and inspections, utility coordination, load management, commissioning, warranty registration, monitoring and long-term service. The lowest proposal is not necessarily the lowest cost over the life of the system.
What does the automatic transfer switch do?
It moves the home's electrical supply between the utility and the generator. That is what lets the system work automatically, and it is also what prevents the house being connected to both sources at once. It is the piece that makes the rest safe.
What is the difference between essential circuits and whole-house backup?
An essential-circuits system transfers a defined set of circuits through a smaller transfer switch rather than the whole electrical service. It is a deliberate design rather than a lesser one: the circuits that matter during an outage are chosen in advance, and the generator only ever has to carry those.
