Sophie from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2013. She signed in the middle of June and the generator was commissioned in the first week of September, a 14 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch, with two power management modules and a five year warranty. A PowerBase plan has covered the annual service since. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale 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.
What is a service-entrance-rated transfer switch?
One that is listed for use as service equipment when installed in the appropriate configuration. These are commonly used for whole-house systems, where the transfer switch becomes part of the home's service arrangement rather than sitting downstream of it.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Farmingdale?
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.
