Shevonne from Bayonne, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2013. She signed in the middle of July and the generator was commissioned four days before Christmas, a 17 kW Generac on its own pad wired to a sixteen-circuit switch. It covers 1,900 square feet with two refrigerators, the laundry and two sump pumps. Bayonne is a peninsula city in Hudson County with water on three sides, which is why the pumps are on the protected list. Bayonne is in Hudson County.
Why Shevonne chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Bayonne homeowners
Will a larger gas meter be needed?
Possibly. A generator can significantly increase a home's maximum gas demand. If the existing meter or service cannot hold the required pressure while supplying the generator and the other appliances together, the gas utility may require an upgrade.
How much room does a technician need around the machine?
Enough to satisfy the model-specific service clearances and to open the enclosure and remove service panels safely. Routine work reaches the engine, air filter, oil filter, spark plugs, battery, controller, fuel system and wiring compartments, so the space has to be real rather than nominal.
Will a 17 kW generator run an entire Bayonne 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.
