Nicholas from Matawan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2013. He signed in late July and the generator was commissioned in the middle of November, a 20 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch with two power management modules. It covers 3,800 square feet with two refrigerators, a dishwasher, the laundry and two sump pumps. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. Matawan is in Monmouth County.
I fully trust Green Sun Energy 100% to service my generator. They are a pleasure to deal with! I will always have a maintenance service contract with them.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Nicholas. The 20 kW Generac at your home in Matawan was sized for 3,800 square feet with two sump pumps in the load, which is the sort of detail that decides the number rather than the floor area alone. Keeping it on an annual plan is exactly what we would recommend, and we are glad the arrangement suits you.
Why Nicholas chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Matawan homeowners
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
Does a generator in Matawan have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
