Thomas from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2014. He and Amanda signed in early November and the generator was commissioned in the second week of February, 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 with a refrigerator, an electric oven, a dishwasher, the laundry and a sump pump. Lincroft is in Monmouth County, where the tree cover is generous and the power lines pay for it.
Why Thomas chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Lincroft homeowners
What does remote monitoring actually tell you?
Depending on the generator and the connectivity, remote monitoring can report status, maintenance notifications, alarms, exercise information and operating history. Its real value is that a fault announces itself between service visits, instead of being discovered during the outage it was bought for.
Can a standby generator be used instead of utility power?
Residential standby generators are intended for backup during outages rather than as a permanent substitute for normal utility service. Running through an extended outage is expected, but maintenance requirements become considerably more important during prolonged continuous use.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Lincroft 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.
