Barbara from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2014. She signed in the middle of April and the generator was commissioned in the second week of July, a 14 kW Generac on its own pad wired to a fourteen-circuit switch, covering 600 square feet with two refrigerators and the laundry. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
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.
Does a generator need a concrete pad?
Not universally. Approved alternative support systems are permitted for applicable models. Concrete or an engineered platform may still be required because of the site conditions, flood requirements, anchoring, municipal requirements or structural design -- but it is not automatic.
How much space is needed at the ends of the generator?
Applicable air-cooled installation instructions commonly require about three feet at the ends. That space protects cooling airflow, exhaust operation and the access a technician needs to work on the machine. The model-specific manual controls.
