Heather from Mount Arlington, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2026. 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 April of 2013 by another company, and Green Sun’s first visit was in July of 2026. A machine thirteen years into its life is where the first visit on a new relationship matters most: it is the one that establishes what has been done to it and what has not.

Standby generator questions from Mount Arlington homeowners
What happens when the utility power comes back?
The system detects the return of acceptable utility power and transfers the house back automatically. The generator then runs through a programmed cool-down before shutting off and returning to standby. Nobody has to switch anything back by hand.
How is the gas pipe size worked out?
From the generator's demand, the available pressure, the pipe length, the allowable pressure drop, the fittings, the pipe material and every other appliance connected to the system. The adopted fuel-gas code carries the sizing requirements and tables, and the model's published fuel consumption goes into the calculation.
Will a 10 kW generator run an entire Mount Arlington 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.
