Generator Safety

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.
