Alex from Freehold, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2018. His 20 kW Generac was installed by another company in April of 2013 and he switched the servicing to us five years later, on a Silver plan. The unit is Honeywell badged, the same Generac machine under another label, and it takes the same parts and the same annual visit. Freehold is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Freehold homeowners
Why is an eighteen-inch wall clearance allowed?
Because it comes from the manufacturer's tested and listed installation configuration. Applicable units are listed and labelled for installation as close as eighteen inches to a structure, subject to openings and local requirements. New Jersey adopts the National Electrical Code, which requires listed equipment to be installed in accordance with the instructions attached to that listing -- so the eighteen inches is a tested dimension, not a rule of thumb.
Does a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
Will a 20 kW generator run an entire Freehold house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
