Anthony from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2020. 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 May of 2013 by another company. Ten kilowatts is the small end of the residential air-cooled range, which is the right answer where the load calculation comes in under it. Green Sun has serviced it every year since taking it on – March of 2020, March of 2021, February of 2022, February of 2023, March of 2024, February of 2025 and February of 2026. Seven consecutive visits on a machine now well into its second decade.

Standby generator questions from Tinton Falls homeowners
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.
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Tinton Falls property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
Does the generator start on its own?
Yes. A properly installed standby generator left in AUTO is designed to start automatically when it detects an unacceptable loss of utility power. The transfer system then moves the household loads across, and when acceptable utility power returns it transfers them back and the generator runs through its programmed shutdown.
