Beth from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. Her Generac is an 8 kW unit from the 6200 series, a compact standby sized to carry the essentials rather than the entire house, and it runs under our PowerBase Silver plan. Silver covers the scheduled maintenance that keeps a small generator honest: oil and filter changes, a battery check, a look at the transfer switch, and a run under load. Middletown is in Monmouth County, where even a modest unit earns its keep a few times a winter.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Is a standby generator the same as a portable one?
No. A home standby generator is permanently installed and automatically connected to the home's electrical and fuel systems. A portable normally has to be placed, fuelled, started and connected by hand each time, using approved connection equipment. The standby machine is designed as an integrated backup-power system rather than as something you fetch out of the garage.
Does a generator need a concrete pad?
Not universally. Approved alternative support systems are permitted for applicable models. Concrete or an engineered platform may still be required because of the site conditions, flood requirements, anchoring, municipal requirements or structural design -- but it is not automatic.
Can a generator be installed in a flood zone in Middletown?
Yes, but the generator and its electrical equipment may need to be elevated or otherwise protected. The installation is evaluated against the property's FEMA flood zone, its Base Flood Elevation and Design Flood Elevation, the municipal flood ordinance, any applicable freeboard, and NJDEP requirements where they apply. It is a property-by-property assessment rather than a rule of thumb.
