Lucille from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2018. She signed at the end of October and the generator was commissioned at the end of January, a 16 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 150-amp service-rated switch. It covers 1,625 square feet with two refrigerators, a dishwasher and the laundry. Cold storage, not floor area, is what set the rating here. Tinton Falls is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Tinton Falls homeowners
What happens if the manufacturer and Tinton Falls disagree?
The installation has to satisfy all applicable requirements. A manufacturer's listing cannot be ignored, and a manufacturer's minimum clearance does not cancel a municipal zoning requirement. Where requirements conflict or the interpretation is uncertain, the Authority Having Jurisdiction is consulted before the work goes in rather than after.
How much space does a generator need in front of it?
For applicable air-cooled installations, roughly three feet of unobstructed clearance at the front, for airflow and for servicing. Fences, shrubs and stored materials should not intrude into that space. Newer models should be checked against their own current manual.
Does the generator need its own gas shutoff?
The fuel installation has to include the shutoff arrangements required by the adopted fuel-gas code and by the installation instructions. The valve must be positioned where it is accessible, both for servicing and for isolating the machine in an emergency.
