Kristen from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2019. The Generac 5871 at the house is rated 10 kW on propane and 9 kW on natural gas, runs on natural gas, and feeds a 45-amp transfer switch. It was installed in October of 2012 by another company. Green Sun has serviced it every year since taking it on – September of 2019, November of 2020, November of 2021, November of 2022, December of 2023, November of 2024 and November of 2025. Ten kilowatts is the small end of the air-cooled range, and seven consecutive years is why a machine that size from 2012 is still doing its job.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Why do outages last longer on some Middletown streets than others?
Mature tree cover over overhead lines is the usual reason. Limbs coming down in wind, snow or ice take the lines with them, so heavily treed streets tend to see both more frequent outages and longer restoration times than open ones. It is one of the honest arguments for standby power rather than a portable generator.
How much clearance is needed above a generator?
Applicable air-cooled guidance requires roughly five feet of overhead clearance from structures, overhangs and projections. That is what rules out a good many low decks, roof overhangs and alcoves as generator locations, and it is worth establishing early rather than after a site is chosen.
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.
