Lynne from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2013. She signed in October and the generator was commissioned in the first week of February, an 11 kW Generac in a steel enclosure on a twelve-circuit switch. The protected list is short and deliberate: two refrigerators, a freezer and the well pump. Without the well there is no water in the house at all, which is why it goes on the list before anything decorative. Jackson is in Ocean County.
Why Lynne chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Jackson homeowners
Can a standby generator be installed in the garage?
No. Residential air-cooled standby generators are designed for outdoor installation and must never be run inside a garage, basement, shed or any other enclosed occupied space. The engine produces carbon monoxide, which can cause serious injury or death. That is why outdoor location and separation from building openings are treated as critical rather than as preferences.
Can Jackson require a generator to sit farther from the house than the manufacturer does?
Yes. Another applicable requirement can result in greater separation than the manufacturer's listed minimum -- equipment may be permitted eighteen inches from a qualifying wall while the local ordinance requires several feet from a property line. Both requirements have to be satisfied; neither cancels the other.
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.
