John from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2012. He and Carol signed in early December and the generator was commissioned in the middle of May, a 20 kW Generac behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch with a five year warranty. At 2,600 square feet there is no triage about which circuits matter: the refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and laundry all simply keep running. Farmingdale 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 Farmingdale homeowners
Will a 20 kW generator run an entire Farmingdale 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.
Does every generator need a valve adjustment?
No. Valve-clearance requirements depend on the engine and the model. The technician identifies the model and serial number and follows the applicable maintenance schedule, rather than assuming every air-cooled machine gets the same procedure.
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.
