Kathleen from Avon by the Sea, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2016. She signed in the middle of October and the generator was commissioned on the fifth of December, a 16 kW Generac in an aluminium enclosure on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch. It covers 3,184 square feet with a refrigerator, a dishwasher, the laundry and two sump pumps. Avon by the Sea is a square mile between the ocean and the Shark River in Monmouth County, which is why the pumps are on the list.
Green Sun Energy is a very friendly and professional company. They helped me determine my needs and designed a system for a reasonable price. The installation went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Green Sun Energy.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Kathleen. Working out what a house actually needs comes before anything else: the 16 kW Generac at your home in Avon by the Sea was sized with two sump pumps in the load, and on a street near the water that is not a detail to leave out. Glad the installation itself was uneventful, which is how it should be.
Why Kathleen chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Avon by the Sea homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Avon by the Sea 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.
Will it work if nobody is home?
Yes, which is one of the main advantages over a portable generator. It has to be properly installed, fuelled, maintained, free of active shutdown alarms and left in AUTO. That matters most where an outage would otherwise stop a sump pump, the heating, refrigeration or a well pump while the house is empty.
What does a whole-house generator actually mean?
Whole-house generally means the transfer equipment serves the home's main electrical system rather than a small emergency-circuit panel. It does not promise unlimited capacity. High-demand appliances may still be prioritized or briefly shed while generator capacity is being used elsewhere.
