Sam from Fair Haven, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2018. His 22 kW Generac from the 7000 series was installed by another company in October of 2017 and he switched the servicing to us a year later, on a Silver plan. Fair Haven sits on the Navesink in Monmouth County, where the tree cover is heavy and outages are a fact of life rather than a surprise.

Standby generator questions from Fair Haven homeowners
Can a generator go in the side yard of a Fair Haven property?
Often yes, provided the side yard satisfies both the manufacturer's clearances and the municipality's zoning requirements. The site review covers the property-line setback, windows and doors, the gas and electric meters, the air conditioner, neighboring structures, flood conditions, service access and any local screening requirement.
Which fuel-gas code applies?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code as its Fuel Gas Subcode, which is what governs the piping, testing and shutoff arrangements on a natural-gas generator installation.
Should gas pressure be checked while the generator is running?
Yes. Operating pressure means more than a static reading taken with the generator off. The fuel system has to hold adequate pressure while the generator runs and other appliances may also be drawing gas. That matters most when an existing residential service is being reused.
