Eileen from Atlantic Highlands, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2024. The Generac 7035-1 at the house is a 16 kW machine on natural gas, feeding a 70-amp transfer switch, and it was installed in August of 2020 by another company. Green Sun has serviced it in May of 2024, April of 2025 and February of 2026, and the machine reports to remote monitoring between visits. Monitoring earns its place on an inherited machine more than on a new one: it is the fastest way to learn what the previous four years did or did not do to it.

Standby generator questions from Atlantic Highlands homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Atlantic Highlands 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 Atlantic Highlands 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.
Does a generator produce less on natural gas than on propane?
Some models do have a lower rated maximum output on natural gas than on propane -- a current 22 kW machine is rated 22 kW on LP and 21 kW on natural gas. Other models carry their own ratings, so the model-specific specification sheet is what settles it rather than a general rule.
