Joseph from Manchester, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2013. He and Angela signed in the middle of January and the generator was commissioned by the third of April, eleven weeks, which was quick going in a winter when most installs ran to five months or more. It is a 14 kW Generac behind a service-rated automatic transfer switch, covering 1,800 square feet with a refrigerator, an electric oven, a dishwasher and the laundry. Manchester is in Ocean County.
Why Joseph chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Manchester homeowners
Can we plant shrubs or put a fence around the generator?
Yes, provided the planting or fence stays outside the required airflow and service clearances. Site-selection guidance treats shrubs, bushes and trees as part of the clear space around the machine, and clearance should be measured against how the planting will grow rather than how it looks the week it goes in. Local zoning may separately require screening.
Should gas pressure be checked while the generator is running?
Yes. Operating pressure means more than a static reading taken with the generator off. The fuel system has to hold adequate pressure while the generator runs and other appliances may also be drawing gas. That matters most when an existing residential service is being reused.
Will a 14 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.
