Generators are Godsends if you live in an area prone to power outages.

But you must hook your generator up legally and safely or you run the risk of catastrophe!

You should have an electrician set up your home generator for you, but if that is not an option, you must do it safely and legally!

Not doing so can cause a fire and electrocution threat and can lead to injury, death, loss of property and legal penalties!
