16 kW Generac standby generator in Springfield, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Diane from Springfield, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2020. The generator was signed that November and commissioned the following July, a 16 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch, which carries the house rather than a chosen set of circuits. A Generac service contract has covered it since, with scheduled maintenance and monitoring so the unit is exercised long before anybody needs it. Springfield is in Union County, at the northern end of where our crews travel.

Thank you, Diane. The paperwork and the inspections are the parts nobody wants to think about, so we take them on entirely: the 16 kW Generac at your home in Springfield came with permits filed, inspections booked and updates at each stage. Reliable and honest are the two words we would most like to keep.

Standby generator questions from Springfield homeowners
Which fuel-gas code applies?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Springfield 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.
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.
