14 kW Generac standby generator in Freehold, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Jo Ann from Freehold, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2023. The machine is a Generac 7225 rated 14 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp transfer switch, and it was commissioned in March of 2023. The house is about 1,880 square feet. Fourteen kilowatts behind a service-sized switch is a common and sensible pairing: the switch carries the whole panel, and the machine is matched to what that panel actually draws at once rather than to its rating. Green Sun has serviced it in March of 2024, February of 2025 and January of 2026.
Why Jo Ann chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Freehold homeowners
Does the generator need its own gas shutoff?
The fuel installation has to include the shutoff arrangements required by the adopted fuel-gas code and by the installation instructions. The valve must be positioned where it is accessible, both for servicing and for isolating the machine in an emergency.
Can Freehold require a generator to sit farther from the house than the manufacturer does?
Yes. Another applicable requirement can result in greater separation than the manufacturer's listed minimum -- equipment may be permitted eighteen inches from a qualifying wall while the local ordinance requires several feet from a property line. Both requirements have to be satisfied; neither cancels the other.
What is the difference between essential circuits and whole-house backup?
An essential-circuits system transfers a defined set of circuits through a smaller transfer switch rather than the whole electrical service. It is a deliberate design rather than a lesser one: the circuits that matter during an outage are chosen in advance, and the generator only ever has to carry those.
