ROMEOVILLE, Ill. - With hurricane season just around the corner, homeowners are buying portable generators in record numbers, says Jon Hoch, founder of ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com. However, very few people truly understand how to safely get the electricity from the generator into the house.
According to Hoch, you never should back feed the electricity into the house. If done incorrectly, you can electrocute utility workers repairing downed power lines.
