Meghan from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2018. She and Daniel signed in the middle of May and the generator was commissioned in the third week of July, a 22 kW Generac in an aluminium enclosure on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch with a power management module. At 4,505 square feet with two refrigerators, a dishwasher and the laundry, it is one of the larger houses we cover. Middletown is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
How level does a generator have to be?
Within the leveling tolerance specified in its installation manual -- applicable air-cooled instructions have used roughly a half-inch overall. A poorly prepared base can settle after installation and bring on drainage, vibration or enclosure problems that were not there on the day it went in.
Can the platform height be read off the FEMA flood map?
Not necessarily. The map matters, but it may not carry every elevation the platform design needs. An Elevation Certificate, a surveyed ground elevation, the Base Flood Elevation, the Design Flood Elevation, the local freeboard and the municipal flood ordinance can all bear on it, so the height is calculated for the specific property.
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.
