Lenny from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. He signed in late August and the generator was commissioned in early November, a 22 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch, with two management modules so the air conditioning and the other heavy loads are not fighting for the same capacity. A Generac service contract has covered it since, with scheduled visits and monitoring in between. Tinton Falls is in Monmouth County, where we install standby power all year.
Purchased a 22kw natural gas generator to power my entire house. I had a very good experience with the entire process. The team was very professional and everything I was told was accurate from start to finish. I highly recommend.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Lenny. Everything you were told being accurate is the standard we hold ourselves to, because a generator project has enough moving parts without surprises added. The 22 kW Generac at your home in Tinton Falls runs the whole house on natural gas through a service-rated transfer switch, exactly as described at the outset.

Standby generator questions from Tinton Falls homeowners
How level does a generator have to be?
Within the leveling tolerance specified in its installation manual -- applicable air-cooled instructions have used roughly a half-inch overall. A poorly prepared base can settle after installation and bring on drainage, vibration or enclosure problems that were not there on the day it went in.
Can Tinton Falls require a generator to sit farther from the house than the manufacturer does?
Yes. Another applicable requirement can result in greater separation than the manufacturer's listed minimum -- equipment may be permitted eighteen inches from a qualifying wall while the local ordinance requires several feet from a property line. Both requirements have to be satisfied; neither cancels the other.
Can the generator stay connected during a pressure test?
The machine has to be protected from test pressures beyond what its fuel controls are built to withstand. The fuel-gas code sets out when appliances are disconnected or isolated for testing, and the plumbing contractor follows both that code and the generator's installation instructions.
