Kathleen from Keansburg, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2014. She and Richard signed at the end of July and the generator was commissioned in the first week of October, a 16 kW Generac in a steel enclosure on its own pad, wired to a sixteen-circuit switch. It covers 1,300 square feet with a refrigerator, an electric dryer and a sump pump. On the bayfront in Keansburg the sump is the circuit that earns the machine its keep. Keansburg is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Keansburg homeowners
Do generator requirements in Keansburg differ from the next town over?
The manufacturer's equipment requirements do not change when you cross a municipal boundary into Keansburg, but local zoning can. A township may impose its own side-yard and rear-yard setbacks, mechanical-equipment rules, screening, noise requirements and floodplain provisions. That is why every property gets a municipal zoning review rather than a general answer.
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.
Does the transfer switch need flood protection as well as the generator?
Yes. A flood review should cover much more than the generator enclosure. FEMA recommends that a residential standby system consider elevation or protection of the generator, the transfer switch, the normal and emergency panels, the feeders and the control wiring together.
