Stanley 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 transfer switch with a five year warranty. It covers 1,900 square feet with a refrigerator, a dishwasher and the laundry. Manchester is in Ocean County.

Standby generator questions from Manchester homeowners
Will an 11 kW generator run an entire Manchester house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
Can a generator be installed on a deck or a roof?
Platform, deck and supporting-structure installations are recognized, but they call for additional review: structural capacity, noncombustible surface requirements, fire clearance, exhaust, airflow, vibration, service access and local requirements all have to be addressed. It is a site-specific installation rather than a routine location.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Manchester home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
