John from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2012. He and Peggy signed a week before Christmas and the generator was commissioned the following June, a 14 kW Generac behind a service-rated automatic transfer switch. The survey found 1,800 square feet with two electric ovens, two refrigerators, a dishwasher and the laundry, which is a heavier kitchen load than the floor area suggests. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
What actually gets done at a service visit?
It depends on the model, the age and the interval, but typically engine oil and filter, air filter, spark plug inspection or replacement, battery inspection, a fuel-system leak check, sediment-trap inspection, valve clearance where applicable, and inspection of the enclosure and intakes.
Does a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Farmingdale 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.
