Justin from Colts Neck, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2021. The generator was commissioned in February of 2022: a Generac Guardian rated 21 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with two smart management modules. The load calculation asked for 20 kW across 4,100 square feet, and the list is why – a well pump, two sump pumps, two refrigerators, an electric dryer, a washer and a dishwasher. A well and sumps together is the combination that turns backup power from a comfort into a necessity: without it the house has no water coming in and no way to move water out. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.
Why Justin chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Colts Neck homeowners
What gas pressure does a generator need?
It is model-specific and has to be read off the specification sheet rather than assumed. A current 22 kW model, for instance, specifies a minimum natural-gas pressure of 3.5 inches water column. Different models carry different requirements.
Why do outages last longer on some Colts Neck streets than others?
Mature tree cover over overhead lines is the usual reason. Limbs coming down in wind, snow or ice take the lines with them, so heavily treed streets tend to see both more frequent outages and longer restoration times than open ones. It is one of the honest arguments for standby power rather than a portable generator.
Can a generator sit behind a solid privacy fence?
Potentially, if the fence stays outside every airflow, exhaust and servicing clearance and does not create a partially enclosed space where heat or exhaust can accumulate. Municipal fence and screening rules may apply as well.
