A Generac 22 kW standby generator service plan:
James in Colts Neck, NJ has been with Green Sun Energy Services since November of 2018, when Green Sun took over maintenance of a Generac 22 kW natural-gas standby generator at the home. The generator — a Generac Model 7043 from the 7000 Series — was already in place when Green Sun came on board; Green Sun did not install it, but does look after it on a regular basis.
The home is served by a 200-amp electrical service, and the transfer arrangement is a managed whole-house setup with a 100-amp automatic transfer switch. When JCP&L power goes out, the switch detects the outage, signals the generator to start, and transfers the load automatically. The whole-house configuration means James does not have to choose which circuits stay live — the full house comes back on.
Green Sun services the generator each year under a maintenance plan that includes scheduled annual visits and an extended parts-and-labor warranty, so if something needs attention between visits, it is covered. The goal is straightforward: when the power goes out, the generator runs.

Standby generator questions from Colts Neck homeowners
What happens if we add a heat pump, a pool or an EV charger later?
Any major new electrical load should prompt a review of the generator's capacity. A machine sized correctly at installation may no longer be adequate once substantial loads are added. Load management can often accommodate the new equipment without replacing the generator.
Does a permanently installed generator need a disconnect?
Yes. Permanently installed generators fall under the disconnecting-means requirements of the National Electrical Code's generator article, and the equipment and electrical design have to satisfy those requirements alongside the machine's own listing and instructions.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Colts Neck home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
