FAQs

1. Can I plug my generator directly into a wall outlet at home?

No, plugging a generator into a wall outlet is extremely dangerous and illegal in most areas; it can cause "backfeeding," which puts utility workers at risk and may damage your electrical system. Always use a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician.

2. How do I calculate the right generator size for my needs?

Add up the wattage of all appliances and devices you want to power simultaneously, then add 20% to accommodate surges; for example, a home needing 5,000 running watts with surge appliances should consider a 6,000–7,000-watt generator.

3. Can a generator damage my appliances?

Yes, especially sensitive electronics, if the generator produces unstable power; to prevent damage, use an inverter generator or install a surge protector or automatic voltage regulator (AVR).

4. How often should I run my generator if I don’t use it regularly?

Run it at least once a month for 15–30 minutes under load to keep the engine lubricated, ensure battery health (if electric start), and identify any issues before an actual outage occurs.

5. Is it safe to run a generator in the garage with the door open?

No, even with the garage door open, carbon monoxide can accumulate quickly and is potentially deadly; always run generators outdoors, at least 20 feet from your home, with exhaust pointed away.
