Standby Generator Service
A 20 kW Generac standby generator service plan:
Gail in Atlantic Highlands has a Generac 20 kW standby generator — Model 7038-1 from the Generac 7000 Series — running on natural gas with a managed whole-house transfer arrangement using a 90-amp transfer switch. The generator was originally installed in July of 2019, though not by Green Sun Energy Services.
Green Sun came on as the servicing contractor and set Gail up with an annual maintenance plan to keep the unit in shape. Under that plan, we visit once a year to inspect the generator, run through the manufacturer’s scheduled maintenance checklist, and make sure everything is ready for the next outage. The most recent service visit was in September of 2025.

Standby generator questions from Atlantic Highlands homeowners
What happens when the utility power comes back?
The system detects the return of acceptable utility power and transfers the house back automatically. The generator then runs through a programmed cool-down before shutting off and returning to standby. Nobody has to switch anything back by hand.
Does a generator in Atlantic Highlands 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.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
