Standby generator questions from Pennington homeowners
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
Can a standby generator be installed in Pennington without natural gas?
Yes. Residential standby generators commonly run on liquid propane. A properly sized tank, regulator and piping system has to be designed to deliver adequate vapour flow and pressure for the machine.
Does every generator need a valve adjustment?
No. Valve-clearance requirements depend on the engine and the model. The technician identifies the model and serial number and follows the applicable maintenance schedule, rather than assuming every air-cooled machine gets the same procedure.
