Eugene from Long Beach Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2020. A Generac Guardian rated 20 kW on propane and 18 kW on natural gas went in the following May, running on natural gas behind a 150-amp automatic transfer switch, with 1,800 square feet of living space behind it on the load survey. That is a generous machine for the floor area, and on a barrier island it is the right kind of generous: outages here arrive with the weather that makes the causeway a bad place to be, and they last as long as it takes crews to get out to the island and work in it.
Why Eugene chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Long Beach Township homeowners
Is every generator trench eighteen inches deep?
No. Eighteen inches is a common cover requirement for certain raceway installations, but it is not a universal generator-trench rule. The code table sets different minimum cover depending on the wiring method and where it runs.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Long Beach Township?
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.
Will a 20 kW generator run an entire Long Beach Township 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.
