Eileen from Beachwood, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2016. Her 20 kW Generac was installed by another company in November of 2013, and she and Thomas switched the servicing to us on a Silver plan. Beachwood sits on the Toms River in Ocean County, and a machine there is worth keeping in condition rather than hoping about. Beachwood is in Ocean County.

Standby generator questions from Beachwood homeowners
Does a standby generator need a permit in Beachwood?
A permanently installed generator normally requires New Jersey Uniform Construction Code permits, because it involves permanent electrical and fuel work. Depending on the property and the municipality, building, zoning, floodplain, utility or fire-code review can also apply.
Can a standby generator run central air conditioning?
Yes, when it is sized for it. The design has to account for both the running demand and the starting surge of the air-conditioning equipment. Load-management equipment can be used where necessary so that demand does not all arrive at once.
Can a standby generator be used instead of utility power?
Residential standby generators are intended for backup during outages rather than as a permanent substitute for normal utility service. Running through an extended outage is expected, but maintenance requirements become considerably more important during prolonged continuous use.
