Anthony from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2014. He signed in early November and the generator was commissioned on the sixth of February, a 16 kW Generac in a steel enclosure on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch with two power management modules. Those modules are what let 16 kW carry 3,052 square feet with two refrigerators, a dishwasher and the laundry. A PowerBase plan has covered it since. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Farmingdale?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
