- Your new generator is installed outside your home in the location determined by you and your qualified installer.
- The generator is connected to the transfer switch according to code.
- Your existing fuel source (natural gas or propane lines) are connected to the generator.
- Your Cummins home standby generator stands ready to keep your home powered in the event of an outage.
The above describes a typical installation; however, every situation is unique.
The most important thing to remember is safety. Installing a standby generator requires a qualified professional and compliance to various codes (national, state and local).
