Regina from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2013. She and Gerard signed in late April and the generator was commissioned at the start of October, a 20 kW Generac behind a 200-amp service-rated switch with two power management modules. The house is 4,500 square feet on a well, with two refrigerators, a freezer, a dishwasher and the laundry. On a well the generator is not a convenience: without it there is no water in the taps at all. Holmdel is in Monmouth County.
Why Regina chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Holmdel homeowners
How quickly does it take over?
The automatic start sequence normally begins within seconds of the controller deciding that utility power has failed or fallen outside acceptable limits. There is a deliberate short delay so that a momentary flicker does not trigger a full start and transfer. Exact timing depends on the controller, the transfer switch and the configuration.
Do generator requirements in Holmdel differ from the next town over?
The manufacturer's equipment requirements do not change when you cross a municipal boundary into Holmdel, 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.
Can the generator be connected to any nearby gas pipe?
No. The branch supplying the generator has to be sized for the flow and pressure the machine needs. A pipe that happens to be close by may be too small, or may already be carrying too much load. Undersized piping shows up as poor starting, unstable running, reduced output or a generator that shuts down under load.
