Loretta from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2013, when we installed her first Generac standby generator. Eleven years later she came back to us: in October of 2024 we installed a new Generac generator at the same home, replacing the original after more than a decade of keeping her lights, heat and refrigerator running through storms and outages. Her generator is covered by a Generac Service Contract with scheduled maintenance, so it is tested and tuned ahead of storm season rather than after a problem shows up. Homeowners across Monmouth County rely on Green Sun Energy Services for standby power — and many, like Loretta, come back to us years later.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Will a 22 kW generator run an entire Farmingdale house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
Does the residential building code apply to a generator?
It can. For applicable one- and two-family dwellings New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Residential Code, subject to state amendments. Structural and flood-related generator installations may therefore need review under the residential subcode as well as the electrical and fuel requirements.
Can an existing propane tank be reused for a new generator?
Possibly. Existing propane equipment can be reused when it is correctly sized, sited, regulated, maintained and capable of supplying the demand the generator adds. The propane supplier should verify capacity and regulator performance before the machine is commissioned rather than after.
