Oded from Leonardo, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2026. We installed a Generac in June, rated 24 kW on propane and 22.5 kW on the natural gas it runs on here, standing outdoors beside the meter. The two heat pumps are what set the size: a house heated and cooled electrically loses its heat in an outage rather than just its lights, and heat pumps pull hard at the moment they start. With two refrigerators alongside them the code calculation put the minimum at 21 kW, and load management modules keep the largest loads from colliding, so a machine this size carries the entire house through a 200-amp service-entrance transfer switch rather than a chosen few circuits. Our top service plan supports it: annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty, and remote monitoring that Green Sun manages directly.
Why Oded chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Leonardo homeowners
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Leonardo?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
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.
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Leonardo property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
