William from Bayville, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2022. The machine is a Generac 7209 rated 24 kW on propane and 21 kW on natural gas, running on natural gas, on a 150-amp transfer switch, and it was commissioned in August of 2022. Bayville is close enough to the water that an outage here is usually a weather event rather than a fault on the line, which is the case a standby machine is bought for. Green Sun has serviced it in August of 2023, August of 2024 and September of 2025, and it reports to remote monitoring in between.

Standby generator questions from Bayville homeowners
What is Base Flood Elevation and why does it matter here?
Base Flood Elevation is the elevation associated with the base flood -- generally the flood with a one percent chance of being reached or exceeded in any year. For a generator it is often the starting point for working out how high the mechanical and electrical equipment has to be protected or raised.
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
Does new gas piping have to be pressure tested in Bayville?
Yes. Gas piping subject to the adopted fuel-gas code must be inspected and tested before it is accepted. New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, which governs the inspection, the test pressure and how long the test has to hold.
