Portable Generators
Portable generators can offer convenience during periods of prolonged power outages. They can also be dangerous if used improperly. Please review this information if you plan to use a portable generator:
- Always ground the generator in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
- Turn off the power at the main circuit breaker before you connect any appliances to the generator. Keep it turned off while the generator is in operation.
- Never connect the generator to your home's wiring system
- Never use a generator in doors or in attached garages. Doing so can result in carbon monoxide poisoning. Only use generators in a well ventilated, dry area.
