When buying a generator, always consider where exactly the machine, and the fuel, will be stored to ensure maximum safety. This is an important aspect of making the decision on stationary versus portable generators. Generators should always be outside of every structure, including garages. “They cannot be in the garage or on the porch or any enclosed area,” says Sytsma.

Remember that there are always sources available to help you make the right choice.
