Whole-House Generator near Brick Township Schools, Brick

A Brick Township family with a home-based business and a family member dependent on powered medical equipment could not afford even brief power interruptions. After Hurricane Ida caused a five-day outage in their neighborhood near the township schools, they made the decision to install a permanent whole-house generator.

JLC Electrical Contractors LLC installed a 22kW Generac Guardian series generator with a 200-amp whole-house automatic transfer switch. The unit sits on a composite mounting pad with proper clearance from the property line and all openings per manufacturer specifications. Our crew coordinated with New Jersey Natural Gas for the underground gas supply line and managed all permitting through Brick Township.

The generator runs a weekly self-test cycle and sends status updates to the homeowner's phone via Generac's Mobile Link Wi-Fi module. During a subsequent nor'easter that knocked out power to the neighborhood for two days, the system activated within ten seconds and ran every appliance in the home without interruption, including the medical equipment and home office.
