Richard from Little Silver, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2017. His 17 kW Generac is a 5800 series unit, and his arrangement with us is Bronze, which is call-us-when-you-need-us rather than a scheduled maintenance plan. That suits an owner who would rather keep the calendar himself and simply know there is a Generac authorized dealer on the other end of the phone when the machine needs something. Little Silver is in Monmouth County, a mile from the Shrewsbury River.

Standby generator questions from Little Silver homeowners
How quickly does it take over?
The automatic start sequence normally begins within seconds of the controller deciding that utility power has failed or fallen outside acceptable limits. There is a deliberate short delay so that a momentary flicker does not trigger a full start and transfer. Exact timing depends on the controller, the transfer switch and the configuration.
What gas pressure does a generator need?
It is model-specific and has to be read off the specification sheet rather than assumed. A current 22 kW model, for instance, specifies a minimum natural-gas pressure of 3.5 inches water column. Different models carry different requirements.
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.
