Frank from Manchester, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2013. He and Virginia signed in the middle of March and the generator was commissioned at the end of June, an 11 kW Generac in a steel enclosure behind a 200-amp service-rated switch, covering 1,500 square feet with two refrigerators, a dishwasher and the laundry. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced every year since. Manchester is in Ocean County.

Standby generator questions from Manchester homeowners
Do generator requirements in Manchester differ from the next town over?
The manufacturer's equipment requirements do not change when you cross a municipal boundary into Manchester, but local zoning can. A township may impose its own side-yard and rear-yard setbacks, mechanical-equipment rules, screening, noise requirements and floodplain provisions. That is why every property gets a municipal zoning review rather than a general answer.
Is a standby generator the same as a portable one?
No. A home standby generator is permanently installed and automatically connected to the home's electrical and fuel systems. A portable normally has to be placed, fuelled, started and connected by hand each time, using approved connection equipment. The standby machine is designed as an integrated backup-power system rather than as something you fetch out of the garage.
Will it work if nobody is home?
Yes, which is one of the main advantages over a portable generator. It has to be properly installed, fuelled, maintained, free of active shutdown alarms and left in AUTO. That matters most where an outage would otherwise stop a sump pump, the heating, refrigeration or a well pump while the house is empty.
