Karen from Matawan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2013. The machine is a Generac 6247 rated 14 kW on propane and 13 kW on natural gas, and it runs on natural gas here. It went in during July of 2014. The house is about 2,400 square feet, which is the figure the load calculation starts from – square footage sets the heating and cooling load, and heating and cooling is what decides whether a house of this size can be carried on one machine or has to be pared back to essential circuits.
Why Karen chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Matawan homeowners
How does the starting battery stay charged?
The system includes battery-charging provisions so the starting battery stays ready while the generator waits for an outage. A charging fault, a blown fuse, a wiring problem or simply a tired battery can stop a generator starting when it is needed, which is why battery condition is part of routine maintenance rather than an afterthought.
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Matawan?
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.
