Matt from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2017. His 20 kW Generac comes from the 5800 series, a generation of units now well past a decade old and still running where they have been looked after. Silver covers exactly that: scheduled visits for oil, filters, battery and transfer switch, plus a run under load while a technician is standing there. Nine years on, the plan has outlasted the warranty. Middletown is in Monmouth County.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Why is an eighteen-inch wall clearance allowed?
Because it comes from the manufacturer's tested and listed installation configuration. Applicable units are listed and labelled for installation as close as eighteen inches to a structure, subject to openings and local requirements. New Jersey adopts the National Electrical Code, which requires listed equipment to be installed in accordance with the instructions attached to that listing -- so the eighteen inches is a tested dimension, not a rule of thumb.
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Middletown?
Yes, when the well pump is included in the design. A private well pump is electric, so without power there is no running water at all -- a different order of problem from losing the lights. Homes on a well are among the clearest cases for standby power, and the pump belongs on the load list from the start.
Does a generator in Middletown have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
