Tim from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2025. He and Joanne booked that spring and the generator was running by the middle of June, a Generac rated at 22 kW on liquid propane and 19.5 kW on natural gas, tied to a 150-amp automatic transfer switch. It is covered by a Generac service contract with scheduled maintenance, so the unit is exercised and inspected on a regular schedule rather than only when a storm is forecast. Hazlet is one of many Monmouth County towns where we keep generators ready.

Green Sun Energy installed our Generac generator. It was a flawless project and we were made aware of exactly how it worked. We highly recommend Green Sun Energy
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Tim. Being told exactly how it works is deliberate: a standby generator in Hazlet only earns its keep if the household knows what it will and will not do. Yours went in and has been serviced by us since 2017. Flawless is a generous word and we will try to keep deserving it.
Standby generator questions from Hazlet homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Hazlet?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
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.
What is Base Flood Elevation and why does it matter here?
Base Flood Elevation is the elevation associated with the base flood -- generally the flood with a one percent chance of being reached or exceeded in any year. For a generator it is often the starting point for working out how high the mechanical and electrical equipment has to be protected or raised.
