Mary from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2013. She signed at the end of January and the generator was commissioned in late May, a 14 kW Generac behind a service-rated automatic transfer switch. The load survey mattered here: 2,100 square feet with two refrigerators, a freezer, an electric oven and the laundry, which is more cold storage than most houses carry and the reason the sizing went where it did. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.
Why Mary 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
What does the kW number on a generator mean?
It is the maximum continuous output the machine is rated to produce under the manufacturer's specified conditions. A current 22 kW model, for example, is rated 22 kW on liquid propane and 21 kW on natural gas. That difference is exactly why the fuel and the model both matter when a generator is sized.
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.
Will a larger gas meter be needed?
Possibly. A generator can significantly increase a home's maximum gas demand. If the existing meter or service cannot hold the required pressure while supplying the generator and the other appliances together, the gas utility may require an upgrade.
