Joseph from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2020. He and Tina first talked to us about a generator back in 2014 and came back to it six years later, which happens more often than you might think. The machine is a 13 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 100-amp service-rated switch, covering 1,392 square feet with a refrigerator, a freezer, a dishwasher, the laundry and two sump pumps. A PowerBase plan has covered it since. Tinton Falls is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Tinton Falls homeowners
Will a 13 kW generator run an entire Tinton Falls house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
How far from the property line does a generator need to be in Tinton Falls?
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 Tinton Falls 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 deep does the electrical conduit have to be buried?
It depends on the wiring method and the location; there is no single burial depth for every installation. The National Electrical Code governs underground wiring and sets minimum cover in a table, and the conduit type, the location and the physical protection all change the answer.
