George from Roosevelt, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2020. The generator was commissioned in June of 2021: a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas, on a 100-amp managed whole-house switch with two smart management modules, sized against an 18 kW calculation for the 3,000 square foot house. An electric range and oven combination and an electric dryer are what lift the figure that high – electric cooking and laundry ask more of a generator in a few minutes than the rest of a house does all day – with two refrigerators, a separate freezer, a washer and a dishwasher completing the load. Roosevelt is one of the smallest boroughs in the state, a planned community of a few hundred houses built in the 1930s, and the whole of it sits on the same handful of power lines. An annual maintenance plan covers the yearly visit.
Why George chose Green Sun Energy Services

Standby generator questions from Roosevelt homeowners
Which electrical code applies to a new installation?
Under the current New Jersey code cycle the Electrical Subcode adopts the 2023 National Electrical Code. Projects filed during a code-transition period are evaluated under the applicable transition provisions rather than assumed into the newer cycle.
How far from the property line does a generator need to be in Roosevelt?
There is no single statewide New Jersey property-line setback for a residential generator. Setbacks are set by the municipality's zoning ordinance, so the requirement is a Roosevelt question rather than a general one. A generator can meet every manufacturer clearance and still breach a side-yard or rear-yard setback, which is why the zoning review happens before the location is fixed.
How much clearance is needed above a generator?
Applicable air-cooled guidance requires roughly five feet of overhead clearance from structures, overhangs and projections. That is what rules out a good many low decks, roof overhangs and alcoves as generator locations, and it is worth establishing early rather than after a site is chosen.
