200-amp automatic transfer switch in Hazlet, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
John from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2013. He signed in the second week of January and the generator was commissioned by the middle of March, quick work for that winter. It is a 17 kW Generac behind a service-rated automatic transfer switch covering 2,500 square feet on a well, with two refrigerators, an electric oven, a dishwasher and the laundry. A house on a well loses its water supply the moment the power goes, which changes the calculation entirely. Hazlet is in Monmouth County.
Why John chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Hazlet 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 far from the property line does a generator need to be in Hazlet?
There is no single statewide New Jersey property-line setback for a residential generator. Setbacks are set by the municipality's zoning ordinance, so the requirement is a Hazlet question rather than a general one. A generator can meet every manufacturer clearance and still breach a side-yard or rear-yard setback, which is why the zoning review happens before the location is fixed.
How is the gas pipe size worked out?
From the generator's demand, the available pressure, the pipe length, the allowable pressure drop, the fittings, the pipe material and every other appliance connected to the system. The adopted fuel-gas code carries the sizing requirements and tables, and the model's published fuel consumption goes into the calculation.
