| Video Discription | This Old House host Kevin O'Connor describes how to combat power outages with a standby generator. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Steps for How to Install an Automatic Standby Generator 1. Install the generator at least 5 feet from all windows and doors. 2. Set the generator on top of a pre-cast concrete pad that's supported by a compacted gravel bed. 3. Secure the generator to the pad with four stainless-steel bolts. 4. Have a plumber connect a natural-gas line to the generator. 5. Have an electrician run a line-voltage cable to the generator. 6. The generator tests itself automatically by turning on every two weeks and running for about 20 minutes. 7. Each time the generator kicks on, a diagnostic signal is sent via the Internet to the homeowner and electrician. 8. A transfer switch is installed beside the electrical meter; it sends electricity into the house when the power goes out and the generator kicks on.
