Barbara from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2015. She signed at the end of January and the generator was commissioned in the middle of March, seven weeks, a 22 kW Generac in an aluminium enclosure on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch with two power management modules. It covers 3,980 square feet with a refrigerator, a freezer, a dishwasher and the laundry. Holmdel is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Holmdel homeowners
Can it start during a brownout when the power is not fully off?
Yes. The controller monitors whether the utility supply is acceptable, not merely whether voltage is present, so it can start while some lights and appliances still appear to be working. That is usually the explanation when a generator runs during severe utility-voltage problems.
Why do outages last longer on some Holmdel 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.
Should gas pressure be checked while the generator is running?
Yes. Operating pressure means more than a static reading taken with the generator off. The fuel system has to hold adequate pressure while the generator runs and other appliances may also be drawing gas. That matters most when an existing residential service is being reused.
