Tim from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2018. He and Laura signed a few days before Christmas and the generator was commissioned at the end of January, a 16 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch. It covers 2,468 square feet with two refrigerators, a dishwasher, the laundry and two sump pumps. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. Middletown is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
How is the gas pipe size worked out?
From the generator's demand, the available pressure, the pipe length, the allowable pressure drop, the fittings, the pipe material and every other appliance connected to the system. The adopted fuel-gas code carries the sizing requirements and tables, and the model's published fuel consumption goes into the calculation.
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 a generator in Middletown have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
