18 kW Standby Generator Installation in Woodbridge, NJ | Whole-House Standby, Sized by Cold Storage, Not Floor Area

Woodbridge Township, NJ · Client since October 2020

Maria from Woodbridge, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2020. The generator Maria and George booked was commissioned the following May, rated 18 kW on natural gas against a load calculation asking for 15 kW. The house is 2,000 square feet and holds two refrigerators and two freezers, so the sizing follows the cold storage rather than the floor area – that is what has to survive a long outage. Two sump pumps are carried as well. Our top-tier plan supports the machine, with an annual visit, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage directly.

Why Maria chose Green Sun Energy Services

Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Woodbridge Township homeowners

Does the transfer switch need flood protection as well as the generator?

Yes. A flood review should cover much more than the generator enclosure. FEMA recommends that a residential standby system consider elevation or protection of the generator, the transfer switch, the normal and emergency panels, the feeders and the control wiring together.

Can the existing natural-gas service in a Woodbridge Township 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.

Which fuel-gas code applies?

New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
