Alex from Fair Haven, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2019. He signed in early November and the generator was commissioned in late January, a 22 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch, which means the whole house rides through an outage rather than a chosen handful of circuits. A Generac service contract has kept it maintained since, with scheduled visits and monitoring between them. Fair Haven is in Monmouth County, close enough to the river that outages are a seasonal fact.
I have been with greensun for almost two years now and I have been very happy with their servicers.

Standby generator questions from Fair Haven homeowners
How far from the property line does a generator need to be in Fair Haven?
There is no single statewide New Jersey property-line setback for a residential generator. Setbacks are set by the municipality's zoning ordinance, so the requirement is a Fair Haven question rather than a general one. A generator can meet every manufacturer clearance and still breach a side-yard or rear-yard setback, which is why the zoning review happens before the location is fixed.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
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.
