Daniel from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2012. He signed between Christmas and New Year and the generator was commissioned in the middle of May, a 17 kW Generac behind a service-rated automatic transfer switch. The house is 1,600 square feet but carries two electric ovens, and a pair of those draws more than most people expect, which is why the machine is rated well above what the floor area alone would suggest. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.
Why Daniel chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Can the generator be connected to any nearby gas pipe?
No. The branch supplying the generator has to be sized for the flow and pressure the machine needs. A pipe that happens to be close by may be too small, or may already be carrying too much load. Undersized piping shows up as poor starting, unstable running, reduced output or a generator that shuts down under load.
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Farmingdale property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
How quickly does it take over?
The automatic start sequence normally begins within seconds of the controller deciding that utility power has failed or fallen outside acceptable limits. There is a deliberate short delay so that a momentary flicker does not trigger a full start and transfer. Exact timing depends on the controller, the transfer switch and the configuration.
