Bernard and Carol from Belle Mead, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since September of 2019. The machine is a Generac 7035-1 rated 16 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp transfer switch, and it was commissioned in December of 2019. At about 1,596 square feet the house sits well inside what 16 kW carries, so the switch takes the panel whole. Green Sun carried out its scheduled maintenance in December of 2020, November of 2021, January of 2023, December of 2023 and November of 2024 – always before the winter, on the same machine.

Standby generator questions from Belle Mead homeowners
Can we build an enclosure around the generator?
A secondary enclosure should not be added unless the finished installation still complies with the manufacturer's requirements. Restricting the machine can reduce cooling airflow, trap heat, recirculate exhaust, block service access and create unsafe carbon-monoxide conditions. The factory enclosure is already engineered as part of the generator.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
Does a generator in Belle Mead 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.
