14 kW Generac standby generator in Farmingdale, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Thomas from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2012. Thomas signed on New Year Eve and the generator was commissioned in June, a 14 kW Generac behind a service-rated automatic transfer switch covering 1,800 square feet with a refrigerator, a dishwasher and an electric oven. Six months was the wait that year and nobody enjoyed it, but the machine has been on a PowerBase plan with us ever since. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.
Ordering the correct sire was simple with their help. Excellent service with installation and follow up
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Thomas. Getting the size right is the decision everything else hangs off, and it should feel simple to the homeowner because the survey does the work. The 14 kW generator at the house in Farmingdale has been maintained by us since 2012, so the follow-up you mention has now run rather a long way.
Why Thomas chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Can a generator sit next to the air-conditioning condenser?
Potentially, provided the installation preserves the clearances required by both machines. The generator's hot exhaust should not be directed at the condenser, and neither unit should obstruct the other's airflow or service access. In practice that often means about three feet or more of separation, but the manufacturers' actual requirements decide it.
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Farmingdale?
Yes, when the well pump is included in the design. A private well pump is electric, so without power there is no running water at all -- a different order of problem from losing the lights. Homes on a well are among the clearest cases for standby power, and the pump belongs on the load list from the start.
Can the generator be connected to any nearby gas pipe?
No. The branch supplying the generator has to be sized for the flow and pressure the machine needs. A pipe that happens to be close by may be too small, or may already be carrying too much load. Undersized piping shows up as poor starting, unstable running, reduced output or a generator that shuts down under load.
