20 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Kevin from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2020. The generator was commissioned in May of 2021: a 20 kW machine on natural gas, feeding two 150-amp transfer switches with a smart management module. Two service panels is what a 3,900 square foot house often ends up with, and it changes the shape of the job – each panel needs its own switch, and the load management has to work across both so the machine is never asked for more than it can give. The calculation asked for 15 kW, carrying two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a sump pump, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Can the platform height be read off the FEMA flood map?
Not necessarily. The map matters, but it may not carry every elevation the platform design needs. An Elevation Certificate, a surveyed ground elevation, the Base Flood Elevation, the Design Flood Elevation, the local freeboard and the municipal flood ordinance can all bear on it, so the height is calculated for the specific property.
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
Can a generator sit on compacted stone?
Certain air-cooled models can, on a properly prepared compacted aggregate base, where the applicable installation manual permits it. The base has to be stable, level, and resistant to settling and erosion, and the preparation comes from the model's own manual rather than from general practice.
