Choose The Right Generator
Honda Generators are the ideal backup support for your home. Available in a wide range of sizes, our generators offer quiet, fuel−efficient power to help keep your family safe and secure through power−related emergencies.
Plus, all portable Honda generators come with CO−MINDER™, our advanced carbon−monoxide monitoring system to help you safely operate your generator. With a Honda generator, when the power goes out, you’ll be good to go!
Connect To Your Home
When powering your home, the generator is only half of the equation. You’ll also want to consider how to connect the generator to your home safely.
Connecting a Generator to Your Home
Safety First
- Always run portable generators outdoors, at least 20 away from windows, doors, and vents. Never run a generator in your garage.
- Use a battery powered carbon monoxide detector in your home.
- Don’t run a generator in the rain. Water and electricity do not mix! Keep your generator dry.
- Never connect the generator directly to a wall outlet - use a transfer switch. Or, use an extension cord to plug appliances directly into generator.
- Don’t refuel the generator while it is running. Turn it off and let it cool down.
