Where should you position a home generator? Never run a gas or propane-fueled generator indoors. Set it up outside, at least 5 to 20 feet from your home and away from any sheds or exterior walls.
Certain natural gas and propane generators can connect to your home's gas line or propane tank, so there's no need to refill them manually. Diesel generators will need to be topped up to keep running.
