Asagna and Amina from Warren, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since September of 2016. The generator was commissioned that November.
It is a 22 kW Generac on natural gas, behind a 300-amp transfer switch. The load survey recorded 5,000 square feet, a well pump and a sump pump. On a house with a well, an outage is not only a lighting problem: no power means no water at all, not even to flush, and that single fact usually decides both the size of the machine and whether the switch covers the whole service rather than a chosen few circuits. Here it covers the whole service.
Why Asagna and Amina chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Warren homeowners
Does a generator in Warren have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
Does a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
