Never connect a standby generator into your home’s electrical system. There are only two safe ways to connect a standby generator to your equipment.
Stationary Generator
- An approved generator transfer switch, which keeps your house circuits separate from the electric utility, should be installed by a professional.
Portable Generator
- Plug appliances directly into the outlet provided on the generator.
- Set up and run your generator in a well-ventilated area outside the home. Make sure it’s out and away from your garage, doors, windows and vents. The carbon monoxide generated is deadly.
- Use a heavy-duty extension cord to connect electric appliances to the outlet on the generator.
- Start the generator first before connecting appliances.
