St. Tammany Code Compliance

We strictly adhere to local parish setback codes (20 feet from buildings, 5 feet from property lines) and guarantee Precise Electrical Load Sizing. Our automatic transfer switches are wired to prevent dangerous utility grid backfeeding during outage restoration.

Northshore Generators documents every scope for parish and municipal inspection in St. Tammany Parish so your install passes the first time.

Hyper local setback & life safety requirements

• Building envelope setbacks: We follow parish setback rules (20 feet from buildings and 5 feet from property lines) and place every unit outside the 5 foot restriction zone that applies to soffit vents, dryer exhaust terminations, and brick weep holes so exhaust and intake air cannot short cycle into hidden wall cavities.
• Raised homes: On elevated Northshore properties, we confirm crawl spaces are properly sealed when the generator pad sits within 5 feet of the structure to prevent natural gas from collecting in under floor cavities on pilings and flood zone foundations.
• HVAC intake separation: Turnkey scope includes verifying the 10 foot clearance required between generator exhaust discharge and central air conditioning intake vents before final inspection.
• Carbon monoxide protection: We coordinate installation of code mandated hardwired carbon monoxide detectors in all sleeping areas when your scope requires it, per Louisiana residential safety standards for fuel burning appliances.

• Precise Electrical Load Sizing

  HVAC tonnage, well pumps, and critical circuits are documented so your 22kW Generac Guardian or Kohler package is sized correctly the first time.

• Setback compliance

  Pad location is surveyed against property lines, building faces, and the 5 foot buffer for soffit vents, dryer exhausts, and weep holes, documented on your permit package before concrete is poured.

• Safe ATS wiring

  Listed automatic transfer switches isolate utility power during generator operation with no backfeeding into Entergy lines.
