Marcin from Parlin, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2014. He signed at the end of August and the generator was commissioned in the middle of December, a 16 kW Generac in a steel enclosure wired to a sixteen-circuit switch, covering 1,200 square feet with two refrigerators and the laundry. Parlin is in Middlesex County.

Standby generator questions from Parlin 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.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Parlin 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.
Why is an eighteen-inch wall clearance allowed?
Because it comes from the manufacturer's tested and listed installation configuration. Applicable units are listed and labelled for installation as close as eighteen inches to a structure, subject to openings and local requirements. New Jersey adopts the National Electrical Code, which requires listed equipment to be installed in accordance with the instructions attached to that listing -- so the eighteen inches is a tested dimension, not a rule of thumb.
