Kristen from Warren, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2017. The 8 kW standby generator at the house was installed by another company in February of 2013, and Kristen brought its servicing to us four years later. The three, four and five-year intervals were all carried out, the last in June of 2019, along with a service call in March of 2018. At 8 kW this is one of the smaller machines we look after, and it runs a managed whole-house switch — which only works because the house was assessed properly for what it actually draws. The meter read 91.7 hours at the five-year service, so it had been called on more than most.

Standby generator questions from Warren homeowners
Which fuel-gas code applies?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
Do generator requirements in Warren differ from the next town over?
The manufacturer's equipment requirements do not change when you cross a municipal boundary into Warren, but local zoning can. A township may impose its own side-yard and rear-yard setbacks, mechanical-equipment rules, screening, noise requirements and floodplain provisions. That is why every property gets a municipal zoning review rather than a general answer.
Why can't a generator be wired straight into the panel?
Because a standby generator needs approved transfer or interconnection equipment so that it cannot unintentionally energise the utility supply. The transfer switch is one of the most important electrical-safety components in the whole installation, not an accessory to it.
