Charles from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2016. The generator was commissioned in February of 2017.
It is a 9 kW Generac on natural gas, behind a 100-amp transfer switch. Nine kilowatts is at the small end of the standby range, and it is the right answer more often than it gets chosen: a machine sized to what a house actually draws starts under a load it was built for, while one sized to reassure runs lightly loaded for years and is no better prepared when the power goes.
Why Charles chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Aberdeen homeowners
What should a Aberdeen 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.
Why do outages last longer on some Aberdeen 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.
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.
