Ronald from Leonardo, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2016. He and Christina put their 20 kW Generac on Platinum, the upper tier at the time, which pairs the annual service with extended parts and labor coverage rather than leaving them exposed as the factory warranty shrinks year by year. A decade later the 5875 is still under contract and still starting. Leonardo sits on the Bayshore in Monmouth County, where the wind off the water takes the lines down most winters.

Standby generator questions from Leonardo homeowners
Does a generator in Leonardo have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
Does a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
What gas pressure does a generator need?
It is model-specific and has to be read off the specification sheet rather than assumed. A current 22 kW model, for instance, specifies a minimum natural-gas pressure of 3.5 inches water column. Different models carry different requirements.
