Joseph from Port Monmouth, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2020. The machine is a Generac 7038-1 rated 20 kW on propane and 18 kW on natural gas, running on natural gas, on a 150-amp transfer switch, and it was commissioned in June of 2021. The house is about 2,427 square feet. Green Sun serviced it in May of 2022 and May of 2023. Port Monmouth sits on the bay, where an outage is far more often weather than a fault on the line, and that is the case a standby machine is bought against.

Standby generator questions from Port Monmouth homeowners
Can the generator stay connected during a pressure test?
The machine has to be protected from test pressures beyond what its fuel controls are built to withstand. The fuel-gas code sets out when appliances are disconnected or isolated for testing, and the plumbing contractor follows both that code and the generator's installation instructions.
How level does a generator have to be?
Within the leveling tolerance specified in its installation manual -- applicable air-cooled instructions have used roughly a half-inch overall. A poorly prepared base can settle after installation and bring on drainage, vibration or enclosure problems that were not there on the day it went in.
Why do outages last longer on some Port Monmouth streets than others?
Mature tree cover over overhead lines is the usual reason. Limbs coming down in wind, snow or ice take the lines with them, so heavily treed streets tend to see both more frequent outages and longer restoration times than open ones. It is one of the honest arguments for standby power rather than a portable generator.
