18 kW Generac standby generator in Hazlet, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Joann from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2021. The generator was commissioned in September: 16 kW on natural gas, on a managed whole-house switch, sized against a 16 kW calculation for the 1,900 square foot house. A double electric oven is most of the reason a house that size needs that much – two elements drawing together approach the demand of everything else combined – with a refrigerator, a separate freezer, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher completing the load. The machine is sized to carry the whole house rather than a nominated list of circuits, which is what keeps the oven out of the argument during an outage: nothing has to be left off a list to make room for it.
Why Joann chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Hazlet homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Hazlet?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
Can a standby generator run central air conditioning?
Yes, when it is sized for it. The design has to account for both the running demand and the starting surge of the air-conditioning equipment. Load-management equipment can be used where necessary so that demand does not all arrive at once.
Does a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
