Portable Generator FAQs

  • Can I vent the exhaust from my portable generator out of an enclosed area? Where should I set my portable?

    No. Never run the generator indoors, in a garage or in an enclosed area. Portable generators are designed to run outside where there is plenty of ventilation.  You need to position your portable away from doors and windows so that the exhaust fumes do not get inside the house.  The produced carbon monoxide gas can cause serious poisoning.  You should also be sure to set your portable where it will be protected from moisture, rain and snow.
