16 kW Generac standby generator in Spring Lake Heights, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Ian from Spring Lake Heights, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2020. The generator was commissioned that June: 16 kW on natural gas, on a 200-amp service-entrance switch with a smart management module. The load calculation asked for 15 kW across the 1,900 square foot house, and a double electric oven is most of the reason the figure is that high for the floor area – two elements drawing together approach the demand of the rest of the house combined. Two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher complete the load. An annual maintenance plan, a seven-year extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind the machine, taken up eighteen months after the installation.
Why Ian chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Spring Lake Heights homeowners
Will the sump pump keep working if the power goes out?
It will if it is on the generator. This matters most in exactly the weather that causes outages: heavy rain and a power cut tend to arrive together, and a sump pump without power cannot keep a basement dry. A sump pump is one of the loads worth confirming during the survey rather than assuming.
Can a standby generator be installed in the garage?
No. Residential air-cooled standby generators are designed for outdoor installation and must never be run inside a garage, basement, shed or any other enclosed occupied space. The engine produces carbon monoxide, which can cause serious injury or death. That is why outdoor location and separation from building openings are treated as critical rather than as preferences.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Spring Lake Heights 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.
