Home Standby Generator Location
Before installing generator, consult with homeowner and
convey the following guidelines which may affect the
desired location.
Generator Clearances
The generator enclosure must be at least 5 ft. (152 cm)
from structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around
the enclosure including the roof, for adequate cooling,
generator maintenance and servicing.
Place generator in a well ventilated area, which will allow
for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT install
generator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter
inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building.
Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors,
ventilation intakes or other openings that can allow exhaust
gas to collect in a confined area (Figure 1). Prevailing winds
and air currents should be taken into consideration when
positioning generator.
