Ken from Atlantic Highlands, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2024. He and AnnMarie put their 24 kW Generac from the 7200 series under our PowerBase Diamond plan, the top of the range and Wi-Fi monitoring included. Diamond means the maintenance schedule, the parts and the monitoring are all one arrangement rather than three separate things to remember. Atlantic Highlands is in Monmouth County, up on the hill, where the wind finds the power lines first.

Standby generator questions from Atlantic Highlands homeowners
Can a generator be raised on a platform?
Yes. Manufacturer guidance specifically covers installations on platforms and other supporting structures, and directs them to the applicable fire-safety standard, including a noncombustible surface extending beyond the generator for the configuration addressed. Flood and structural requirements have to be satisfied as well.
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.
How is the gas pipe size worked out?
From the generator's demand, the available pressure, the pipe length, the allowable pressure drop, the fittings, the pipe material and every other appliance connected to the system. The adopted fuel-gas code carries the sizing requirements and tables, and the model's published fuel consumption goes into the calculation.
