Ron and Linda from Tinton Falls, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since August of 2020. The machine is a Generac 7042-2 rated 22 kW on propane and 19.5 kW on natural gas, running on natural gas, on a 150-amp transfer switch, and it was commissioned in March of 2021. The house is about 2,900 square feet. Green Sun has serviced it every year since – January of 2022, February of 2023, March of 2024, February of 2025 and February of 2026 – and it reports to remote monitoring in between, so a fault announces itself rather than waiting to be found.

Standby generator questions from Tinton Falls homeowners
Does a permanently installed generator need a disconnect?
Yes. Permanently installed generators fall under the disconnecting-means requirements of the National Electrical Code's generator article, and the equipment and electrical design have to satisfy those requirements alongside the machine's own listing and instructions.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Tinton Falls home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
Can Tinton Falls require a generator to sit farther from the house than the manufacturer does?
Yes. Another applicable requirement can result in greater separation than the manufacturer's listed minimum -- equipment may be permitted eighteen inches from a qualifying wall while the local ordinance requires several feet from a property line. Both requirements have to be satisfied; neither cancels the other.
