More About Is Your Home “Generator-Ready”? 🔌
Power outages during summer storms are not rare. They are practically scheduled. Yet most homeowners who own a generator have no idea whether their home is actually wired to use it safely. Spoiler: most are not.
Here’s what generator-readiness actually requires:
· A proper transfer switch: Without one, generators can back-feed power into utility lines, risking damage and serious safety hazards.
· Correctly sized circuits: Generators have wattage limits. Without a clear plan for which circuits they power, homeowners overload them instantly, defeating the entire purpose and risking damage. ⚡
· Safe outdoor placement and wiring: Generators must stay outdoors with proper outlets and safe distance from windows to prevent carbon monoxide risks.
A lot of homeowners assume they’re covered during outages, only to realize their setup isn’t actually safe.
