16 kW Generac standby generator in Matawan, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Anthony from Matawan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2016. He signed in late July and the generator was running by the end of September, a 16 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 150-amp service-rated transfer switch, with a management module handling the largest load so the unit is never asked for more than it has. A Generac service contract has kept it maintained across the decade since. Matawan is in Monmouth County, where a generator bought in 2016 has earned its keep several times over.
We just had a generator installed at our home by Green Sun Energy and I highly recommend their services. The level of expertise is incredible! They communicate with you from start to finish. You know exactly when things are getting scheduled and when they are done and it's all done on time. If you need a generator or solar system I highly recommend this company.

Standby generator questions from Matawan homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Matawan 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.
Does a generator produce less on natural gas than on propane?
Some models do have a lower rated maximum output on natural gas than on propane -- a current 22 kW machine is rated 22 kW on LP and 21 kW on natural gas. Other models carry their own ratings, so the model-specific specification sheet is what settles it rather than a general rule.
How much clearance is needed above a generator?
Applicable air-cooled guidance requires roughly five feet of overhead clearance from structures, overhangs and projections. That is what rules out a good many low decks, roof overhangs and alcoves as generator locations, and it is worth establishing early rather than after a site is chosen.
