Standby Generator Installation in Brick, NJ | Clearing the Way for a Generator

Brick, NJ · Client since July 2023

Deborah from Brick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2023. The generator was commissioned that September, sized against a 15 kW calculation for the 2,572 square foot house, on a whole-house transfer switch. The siting came with a condition agreed before the contract was signed: a bush in front of the electric meter had to be cut back and the decorative grasses removed so the machine could go where it needed to go. That sort of thing is worth settling in writing rather than discovering on installation day, when the choice becomes a delay or a compromise on placement. An annual maintenance plan and a seven-year extended parts-and-labor warranty sit behind the generator.

Why Deborah chose Green Sun Energy Services

Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Brick homeowners

What is a sediment trap for?

It helps stop foreign material in the gas line from reaching the generator's fuel controls. Where the fuel-gas code and the system configuration call for one, it is fitted, and the maintenance schedule includes inspecting or cleaning it.

Can a generator be installed on a deck or a roof?

Platform, deck and supporting-structure installations are recognized, but they call for additional review: structural capacity, noncombustible surface requirements, fire clearance, exhaust, airflow, vibration, service access and local requirements all have to be addressed. It is a site-specific installation rather than a routine location.

Can a generator be installed in a flood zone in Brick?

Yes, but the generator and its electrical equipment may need to be elevated or otherwise protected. The installation is evaluated against the property's FEMA flood zone, its Base Flood Elevation and Design Flood Elevation, the municipal flood ordinance, any applicable freeboard, and NJDEP requirements where they apply. It is a property-by-property assessment rather than a rule of thumb.
