Standby Generator

Can I add a natural gas standby generator of pool heater?

Contact NJNG before purchasing a natural gas standby generator or pool heater. We'll determine whether your property and NJNG’s system and service lines can support the additional natural gas demand.

How do I request a review?

Complete and submit the form below. The information you provide helps NJNG confirm that our service line, meter and regulator can deliver enough natural gas and pressure to operate your new equipment along with your existing household appliances.

What happens after I submit the form?

NJNG will review your online request and email the results within 15 business days. If your natural gas meter and/or service line must be upgraded to support the equipment, charges may apply. Please allow approximately six weeks for any required upgrade work to be completed.

Important: Incomplete an incorrect information may delay the review process and upgrade work. Ask your contractor to provide the technical information requested on the form.

What natural gas pressure information do contractors need?

NJNG's standard delivery pressure is 8 inches water column (wc). If required fuel pressure at the generator fuel inlet is greater than 8 inches wc, NJNG will provide 2 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) at the outlet side of the meter set. Your contractor must install the step-down regulator(s) needed to meet the equipment specifications. If 2 PSIG is required, submit a request by email in addition to completing the form below.
