David from Colts Neck, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2014. He and Jennifer signed in early November and the generator was commissioned in the middle of March, a 22 kW Generac in an aluminium enclosure on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch. It covers 3,500 square feet on a well, with two sump pumps, a refrigerator, a freezer, an electric oven, a dishwasher and the laundry. A well and two sumps is the case where an outage costs you water coming in and water going out at once. Colts Neck is in Monmouth County.
Why David chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Colts Neck homeowners
Can a standby generator backfeed the utility lines?
A properly installed and functioning automatic transfer system is designed to prevent it. That is the point of the transfer switch: it stops generator power reaching the utility supply, where it could endanger line workers and damage equipment. Backfeeding is a risk of improvised connections, not of a correctly installed system.
Which fuel-gas code applies?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Colts Neck 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.
