Portable Generator Safety: Protecting Your Home and Family During Storm Season

When the power goes out, a portable generator can provide essential electricity to keep your home comfortable and safe. But without proper precautions, it can also pose serious hazards.

At Lakeland Generator Service, we remind homeowners that safety is the most important step in storm preparedness.

Always remember:

• Only operate portable generators outside in a well-ventilated area — never in a garage, shed, inside the home, or near any doors, windows, vents.

• Use proper extension cords rated for outdoor, heavy-duty use.

• Install carbon monoxide detectors for added protection.

• Never backfeed power into your home without a transfer switch.

  
  

Hurricane season has been very easy on Florida so far, but it's a good idea to make sure your family is ready with both power and peace of mind. Visit our Hurricane Preparedness Guide for more information.
