🔧 PRO TIP: Generator Safety
Generators provide peace of mind during outages — but only if used safely. Here’s how to protect your home and family:
🏠 Use Outdoors Only
- Never run a generator in a garage, basement, or enclosed area.
- Carbon monoxide is deadly — keep units at least 20 feet from windows and doors.
🔌 Proper Connections
- Plug appliances directly into the generator or use a heavy-duty outdoor-rated extension cord.
- Never backfeed power into your home’s electrical panel without a transfer switch.
⛽ Fuel Safety
- Store fuel in approved containers away from the house.
- Let the generator cool before refueling to prevent fire hazards.
🧯 Bonus Tip
- Run your generator monthly to keep it in good working order.
👉 Remember: Generators provide peace of mind during outages — but only if used safely.
