Jerry from Red Bank, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2012. He and Gail signed in the middle of December and the generator was commissioned at the end of May, a 17 kW Generac behind a service-rated automatic transfer switch. It covers 2,400 square feet, two refrigerators, a freezer, the laundry and two sump pumps. The pumps are the reason the whole-house switch matters here rather than a chosen list of circuits. Red Bank is in Monmouth County.
Why Jerry chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Red Bank homeowners
What is a sediment trap for?
It helps stop foreign material in the gas line from reaching the generator's fuel controls. Where the fuel-gas code and the system configuration call for one, it is fitted, and the maintenance schedule includes inspecting or cleaning it.
Can Red Bank require a generator to sit farther from the house than the manufacturer does?
Yes. Another applicable requirement can result in greater separation than the manufacturer's listed minimum -- equipment may be permitted eighteen inches from a qualifying wall while the local ordinance requires several feet from a property line. Both requirements have to be satisfied; neither cancels the other.
Is an emergency shutdown required?
The 2023 National Electrical Code contains requirements addressing emergency shutdown of generator prime movers. Whether and how they apply is determined from the generator's rating, its location, the model and the installation, and the factory equipment is evaluated against them rather than presumed to comply.
