Elena from New Egypt, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2021. The generator was commissioned in May of 2022, rated 19.5 kW on natural gas where the load calculation asked for 15 kW. The house depends on electricity at both ends of its water: a well pump brings it in and two sump pumps keep it out, and an outage stops both at once. That is a different problem from losing the lights, and it is why the whole house is carried rather than a chosen set of circuits. A surge protective device went in alongside the machine.
Why Elena chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from New Egypt homeowners
Will a 22 kW generator run an entire New Egypt house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in New Egypt?
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 it start during a brownout when the power is not fully off?
Yes. The controller monitors whether the utility supply is acceptable, not merely whether voltage is present, so it can start while some lights and appliances still appear to be working. That is usually the explanation when a generator runs during severe utility-voltage problems.
