Generator safety: Operate fuel-powered generators outdoors only, at least 20 feet from the house, with exhaust directed away from buildings and openings. Never run one in a garage, even with the door open. Use working carbon monoxide alarms and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for protection from rain and snow. Have a qualified electrician install the appropriate transfer equipment before connecting to house wiring; never plug a generator into a wall outlet.
