Linda from Marlboro, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2013. She and Brian signed in December and the generator was commissioned in the first week of March, a 20 kW Generac behind a 200-amp service-rated switch with two power management modules. It covers 4,234 square feet with two refrigerators, an electric oven, a dishwasher, the laundry and a sump pump. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. Marlboro is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Marlboro homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Marlboro 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.
Why do outages last longer on some Marlboro streets than others?
Mature tree cover over overhead lines is the usual reason. Limbs coming down in wind, snow or ice take the lines with them, so heavily treed streets tend to see both more frequent outages and longer restoration times than open ones. It is one of the honest arguments for standby power rather than a portable generator.
Can a generator be installed on a deck or a roof?
Platform, deck and supporting-structure installations are recognized, but they call for additional review: structural capacity, noncombustible surface requirements, fire clearance, exhaust, airflow, vibration, service access and local requirements all have to be addressed. It is a site-specific installation rather than a routine location.
