Own an Emergency Standby Generator?


The beginning of Hurricane season marks the increase in buys of whole-house generators by Florida and Houston, Texas residents. To continue receiving the benefits of these emergency stand-by generators, it is important to follow certain guidelines that will keep your home safe. Miami Dade County’s government website lists generator safety tips.

According to the website, the location of a quality generator should be outside. It is important that their placement is done in a well-ventilated area and not where the fumes could get inside your home.  The proper installation of a generator should be left to a professional such as Personalized Power Systems. They will make sure all the correct safety guidelines are followed.

Generators come in a variety of sizes and power level. You need to use the right generator according to your needs. It is also important to maintain these propane gas generators. Make sure to never refuel the generator when it’s still hot or running. It is also important to keep the unit clean. Clean leaves and foreign matter away from the unit. This will allow it to function properly for years to come.

For more information on safety measures that you should take once you purchase a home generator, do not hesitate to contact your local Personalized Power systems.
