Leonard from Toms River, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2013. He signed in the middle of January and the generator was commissioned at the end of April, a 10 kW Generac on a twelve-circuit EZ switch, sized for 940 square feet and a refrigerator. Twelve circuits rather than ten gives a little more room to choose what stays on, which on a compact house is usually all that is wanted. Toms River is in Ocean County.
Why Leonard chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Toms River homeowners
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.
Should gas pressure be checked while the generator is running?
Yes. Operating pressure means more than a static reading taken with the generator off. The fuel system has to hold adequate pressure while the generator runs and other appliances may also be drawing gas. That matters most when an existing residential service is being reused.
Does the residential building code apply to a generator?
It can. For applicable one- and two-family dwellings New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Residential Code, subject to state amendments. Structural and flood-related generator installations may therefore need review under the residential subcode as well as the electrical and fuel requirements.
