Neil from New Providence, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2019. He and Lauren signed in the middle of January and the generator was commissioned on the twentieth of March, a 16 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 150-amp service-rated switch. It covers 2,400 square feet with two refrigerators, a dishwasher, the laundry and a sump pump. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. New Providence is in Union County.
Why Neil chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from New Providence 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.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a New Providence home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
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.
