Shari from Red Bank, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The generator was commissioned in April of 2021: a 13 kW Generac Guardian on natural gas, on a 150-amp service-entrance switch with two smart management modules. The load calculation asked for 14 kW across the 1,536 square foot house, and the two management modules are what let a 13 kW machine cover it – they hold back the heaviest draw for a moment when several things start together, rather than dividing the house into circuits that matter and circuits that do not. One condition had to be met before work began: the basement window behind the generator’s position was replaced with a sealed, non-opening picture window, so exhaust can never find its way indoors. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.
Why Shari chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Red Bank 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.
Will a 13 kW generator run an entire Red Bank 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.
Will a larger gas meter be needed?
Possibly. A generator can significantly increase a home's maximum gas demand. If the existing meter or service cannot hold the required pressure while supplying the generator and the other appliances together, the gas utility may require an upgrade.
