Pamela from Belford, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2016. Her 20 kW Generac from the 6729 series was installed by another company in November of 2015, and she and William switched the servicing to us eight months later on a Silver plan. Belford is on the Bayshore in Monmouth County, where a standby generator is closer to standard equipment than a luxury and the annual visit is what keeps it that way.

Standby generator questions from Belford homeowners
Do generator requirements in Belford differ from the next town over?
The manufacturer's equipment requirements do not change when you cross a municipal boundary into Belford, but local zoning can. A township may impose its own side-yard and rear-yard setbacks, mechanical-equipment rules, screening, noise requirements and floodplain provisions. That is why every property gets a municipal zoning review rather than a general answer.
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
Can an existing propane tank be reused for a new generator?
Possibly. Existing propane equipment can be reused when it is correctly sized, sited, regulated, maintained and capable of supplying the demand the generator adds. The propane supplier should verify capacity and regulator performance before the machine is commissioned rather than after.
