Kathryn from East Brunswick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2020. The generator was commissioned that July: a 16 kW Generac Guardian on natural gas, on a 200-amp whole-house transfer switch. The load calculation asked for 12 kW across the 2,400 square foot house, so the machine carries a comfortable margin over the requirement. Whole-house rather than a critical-load panel is the choice worth noting on a job this size – it costs more at the outset and takes the question away permanently, since nothing has to be nominated in advance as the part of the house that keeps working. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.
Why Kathryn chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from East Brunswick homeowners
Will a 16 kW generator run an entire East Brunswick 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.
What should we do if it runs for more than a day?
Continuous running for twenty-four hours or more deserves attention. The manufacturer's continuous-use guidance covers a proper shutdown, an oil-level check, a leak inspection and maintenance based on the hours accumulated. Follow the safe shutdown procedure rather than opening or servicing a machine that is running.
Which electrical code applies to a new installation?
Under the current New Jersey code cycle the Electrical Subcode adopts the 2023 National Electrical Code. Projects filed during a code-transition period are evaluated under the applicable transition provisions rather than assumed into the newer cycle.
