16 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
William from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The generator was commissioned in March of 2021: a 16 kW Generac Guardian on natural gas, outdoors beside the meter, on a 150-amp whole-house transfer switch. At 1,562 square feet this is one of the smaller houses on our books, and the load calculation still came out at 15 kW – a reminder that the number is set by what the house runs rather than how big it is. A refrigerator, washer, gas dryer and dishwasher all have to keep going, and none of them cares about square footage. The generator is supported by annual maintenance, a ten-year extended parts-and-labor warranty, and monitoring we manage.
Why William chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Is an emergency shutdown required?
The 2023 National Electrical Code contains requirements addressing emergency shutdown of generator prime movers. Whether and how they apply is determined from the generator's rating, its location, the model and the installation, and the factory equipment is evaluated against them rather than presumed to comply.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Middletown 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.
What is the difference between essential circuits and whole-house backup?
An essential-circuits system transfers a defined set of circuits through a smaller transfer switch rather than the whole electrical service. It is a deliberate design rather than a lesser one: the circuits that matter during an outage are chosen in advance, and the generator only ever has to carry those.
