Chris from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2013. The generator was commissioned at the end of July, a 20 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch with two power management modules. At 4,815 square feet with two electric ovens, two refrigerators, a freezer, a sump pump and the laundry, it is the largest load survey in our records. A PowerBase plan has covered it since. Holmdel is in Monmouth County.
Why Chris 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
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Holmdel home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
What does the kW number on a generator mean?
It is the maximum continuous output the machine is rated to produce under the manufacturer's specified conditions. A current 22 kW model, for example, is rated 22 kW on liquid propane and 21 kW on natural gas. That difference is exactly why the fuel and the model both matter when a generator is sized.
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Holmdel property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
