Cathy from Red Bank, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2019. The machine is a Generac 7043-2 rated 22 kW on propane and 19.5 kW on natural gas, running on natural gas, on a 200-amp transfer switch, and it was commissioned in March of 2020. At about 5,500 square feet this is one of the largest houses in the portfolio on a 22 kW machine, and it is where the load calculation stops being a formality – what matters is not the floor area but how much of it runs at once. Green Sun has kept it on scheduled maintenance ever since, most recently in December of 2025, and it reports to remote monitoring in between.

The scheduling and installation of my full house generator by Green Sun Energy was flawless and almost immediately proved to be invaluable with a 4 day blackout. Glen, Karen and their team could not have been more professional, informative and punctual. After consulting with a few other companies I'm convinced I made the right choice going with Green Sun Energy. I highly recommend them and know you will not be disappointed.
Standby generator questions from Red Bank homeowners
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
Does a generator in Red Bank have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
Is every generator trench eighteen inches deep?
No. Eighteen inches is a common cover requirement for certain raceway installations, but it is not a universal generator-trench rule. The code table sets different minimum cover depending on the wiring method and where it runs.
