Jason from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2023. The Generac 7043 at the house is a 22 kW machine on natural gas, feeding a 100-amp transfer switch, and it was installed in June of 2021. Green Sun took it on in August of 2023 and has serviced it each September since – 2023, 2024 and 2025. Keeping to the same month is the quiet part of a maintenance schedule: it puts the visit before the storm season rather than after the first outage of it.

Standby generator questions from Lincroft homeowners
Will a 22 kW generator run an entire Lincroft 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 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.
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.
