Scott from Brick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2020. The generator was commissioned in June of 2021: a 16 kW Generac Guardian on natural gas, outdoors beside the meter, with a 150-amp service-entrance switch and two smart management modules. The load calculation asked for 12 kW, and what has to keep running says more than the number does – two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a sump pump, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher. The sump and the cold storage are the pair that matter most: one is needed exactly when a storm takes the power out, and the other quietly turns a long outage into a bill for everything in the freezer. An annual maintenance visit keeps the machine serviced.
Why Scott chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Brick homeowners
Will a 16 kW generator run an entire Brick 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 it work if nobody is home?
Yes, which is one of the main advantages over a portable generator. It has to be properly installed, fuelled, maintained, free of active shutdown alarms and left in AUTO. That matters most where an outage would otherwise stop a sump pump, the heating, refrigeration or a well pump while the house is empty.
How much room does a technician need around the machine?
Enough to satisfy the model-specific service clearances and to open the enclosure and remove service panels safely. Routine work reaches the engine, air filter, oil filter, spark plugs, battery, controller, fuel system and wiring compartments, so the space has to be real rather than nominal.
