Helena from Dayton, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2018. The machine is a Generac 7032-1 rated 11 kW on propane and 10 kW on natural gas, running on natural gas, on a 100-amp transfer switch, and it was commissioned in August of 2018. Eleven kilowatts is the smaller end of the air-cooled range, and it is the right answer where the load calculation comes in under it. A generator is sized to the load it has to pick up, and oversizing one does not make it start any sooner or carry anything the calculation never asked for. Green Sun serviced it in August of 2019.
Great price, excellent service!

Why Helena chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.
Why they chose us
Helena, a Dayton homeowner, came to Green Sun Energy Services in 2018 looking for standby generator installation, and the experience delivered on both counts that mattered most: price and quality of work. The team installed a Generac 11 kW LP / 10 kW natural gas standby generator — model 70321 — sized to serve a 500-square-foot home, pairing it with an essential circuits automatic transfer switch rated at 100 amps within a NEMA-3R enclosure on a 200-amp service. Helena kept the review short but direct, calling it "great price, excellent service," and the company took that as the measure they most want to be held to — how the work itself went.

Standby generator questions from Dayton homeowners
Can a generator be sized from the square footage of the house?
No. Two houses of identical size can have very different electrical requirements depending on heating fuel, how many air conditioners there are, whether there is a well pump, a pool, an EV charger, or electric cooking. A proper design examines the load rather than the floor area.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
Does a standby generator need a permit in Dayton?
A permanently installed generator normally requires New Jersey Uniform Construction Code permits, because it involves permanent electrical and fuel work. Depending on the property and the municipality, building, zoning, floodplain, utility or fire-code review can also apply.
