17 kW Generac standby generator in Farmingdale, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Gene and Lilli from Farmingdale, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since February of 2013. Gene and Lilli signed in early February and the generator was commissioned in the middle of June, a 17 kW Generac behind a service-rated switch with four load management modules. The modules are what let a 17 kW machine carry 3,100 square feet with two electric ovens, two refrigerators, a dishwasher and the laundry: the heavy loads take turns rather than competing. A PowerBase plan has covered it since. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.
They took care of everything including the permits. The entire process was flawless from the gentleman who came to explain everything, to the installer, to the final product. I have absolutely no complaints. They were always on time and cleaned up well. As issues can arise in any circumstance. They were quick and professional to address and move forward. I would highly recommend their service.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Gene. Taking care of the permits is not a favor, it is the job: a standby generator in Farmingdale needs gas, electrical and township sign-off before it is worth anything. The 17 kW machine covers three thousand one hundred square feet using four load modules, which is how a house that size stays on one generator.
Why Gene and Lilli chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Will a larger gas meter be needed?
Possibly. A generator can significantly increase a home's maximum gas demand. If the existing meter or service cannot hold the required pressure while supplying the generator and the other appliances together, the gas utility may require an upgrade.
Why can't a generator be wired straight into the panel?
Because a standby generator needs approved transfer or interconnection equipment so that it cannot unintentionally energise the utility supply. The transfer switch is one of the most important electrical-safety components in the whole installation, not an accessory to it.
What size standby generator does a Farmingdale home need?
The correct size is decided by the electrical loads the generator is expected to run, not by the square footage of the house. Central air, heat pumps, electric heat, well and sump pumps, refrigerators and freezers, electric ranges and dryers, pool equipment and EV chargers all count. Where a load is connected automatically, the generator either has the capacity for it or an approved load-management system controls it.
