John from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2013. He signed in late July and the generator was commissioned at the end of October, a 14 kW Generac behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch with two power management modules and a five year warranty. It covers 1,880 square feet with a refrigerator, a dishwasher and the laundry. Aberdeen is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Aberdeen homeowners
Can a standby generator be installed in the garage?
No. Residential air-cooled standby generators are designed for outdoor installation and must never be run inside a garage, basement, shed or any other enclosed occupied space. The engine produces carbon monoxide, which can cause serious injury or death. That is why outdoor location and separation from building openings are treated as critical rather than as preferences.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Aberdeen home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
Does the residential building code apply to a generator?
It can. For applicable one- and two-family dwellings New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Residential Code, subject to state amendments. Structural and flood-related generator installations may therefore need review under the residential subcode as well as the electrical and fuel requirements.
