16 kW Generac standby generator in Jackson, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Carol from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. A Generac Guardian rated 16 kW went in the following March, running on natural gas behind a 200-amp automatic transfer switch. The load survey put 2,550 square feet of living space behind it. The switch is sized to the whole service rather than to a chosen group of circuits, which means nothing had to be decided in advance about which rooms matter during a storm.
My husband and I are so thankful we used Green Sun for the installation of our new generator. Every member of the crew from first inquiry to final inspection was exceptional. Everyone was very professional, informative and friendly. The communication was amazing -- every step of the way. And their prices were more than fair. Green Sun made the entire process wonderfully easy for us.

Carol, thank you for taking the time to share this — we really appreciate it. Getting your Generac 16 kW standby generator in place with a whole-home transfer switch is exactly the kind of project where clear communication matters most, and we're glad that came through at every stage. Enjoy the peace of mind the next time a storm rolls through.

Standby generator questions from Jackson homeowners
Why do outages last longer on some Jackson streets than others?
Mature tree cover over overhead lines is the usual reason. Limbs coming down in wind, snow or ice take the lines with them, so heavily treed streets tend to see both more frequent outages and longer restoration times than open ones. It is one of the honest arguments for standby power rather than a portable generator.
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Jackson 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.
