Margaret from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2017. She signed at the end of October and the generator was commissioned in the middle of December, a 16 kW Generac in an aluminium enclosure on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch. It covers 2,600 square feet with two refrigerators, a freezer, a dishwasher, the laundry and a sump pump. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. Middletown is in Monmouth County.
Why Margaret chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Will the sump pump keep working if the power goes out?
It will if it is on the generator. This matters most in exactly the weather that causes outages: heavy rain and a power cut tend to arrive together, and a sump pump without power cannot keep a basement dry. A sump pump is one of the loads worth confirming during the survey rather than assuming.
How much clearance is needed above a generator?
Applicable air-cooled guidance requires roughly five feet of overhead clearance from structures, overhangs and projections. That is what rules out a good many low decks, roof overhangs and alcoves as generator locations, and it is worth establishing early rather than after a site is chosen.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Middletown 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.
