David from Howell, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2013. He and Heidi signed in the middle of June and the generator was commissioned in the first week of September, an 11 kW Generac in a steel enclosure on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch with two power management modules. It covers 2,121 square feet with a refrigerator, a freezer, an electric oven and the laundry. A PowerBase plan has covered it since. Howell is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Howell homeowners
Does a standby generator need a permit in Howell?
A permanently installed generator normally requires New Jersey Uniform Construction Code permits, because it involves permanent electrical and fuel work. Depending on the property and the municipality, building, zoning, floodplain, utility or fire-code review can also apply.
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.
How is the gas pipe size worked out?
From the generator's demand, the available pressure, the pipe length, the allowable pressure drop, the fittings, the pipe material and every other appliance connected to the system. The adopted fuel-gas code carries the sizing requirements and tables, and the model's published fuel consumption goes into the calculation.
