Francis from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2023. The generator was commissioned in April, sized against a 15 kW calculation for the 2,500 square foot house, with a sump pump, two refrigerators, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher on the load list. The contract set out both outcomes rather than one: the transfer switch would go in the garage if the electrical inspector signed and sealed the plan by a named date, and on the outside of the house if not. Where a transfer switch ends up is not entirely ours to decide – an inspector can require otherwise – so naming both possibilities means neither answer arrives as a surprise on installation day. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind the machine.
Why Francis chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Lincroft homeowners
Do generator requirements in Lincroft differ from the next town over?
The manufacturer's equipment requirements do not change when you cross a municipal boundary into Lincroft, 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.
Does the clearance apply to a fixed window as well as one that opens?
A permanently fixed pane may be treated differently from an operable window, because the concern in the placement guidance is exhaust and carbon monoxide entering the building. Even so, the installer has to evaluate the exact model's manual and everything nearby -- operable windows, doors, vents, fresh-air intakes, window wells and mechanical openings. A fixed window should never simply be assumed acceptable.
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.
