Common use of Generators Clause in Contracts

Generators. Proper installation of generators is critical in order to avoid a fire, damage to electrical equipment, injury, and death. Poisoning from carbon monoxide due to unventilated exhaust is possible. A CO detector can warn you when carbon monoxide is present in a dwelling or other occupied space. CO detectors should be installed in the home and tested monthly. Generators should never be installed indoors or near windows or intake vents outdoors or where water puddles. Keep plenty of space open around the generator for air flow. The following guidelines must be followed when adding a permanent generator to the outside of your home: 1. Homeowners must submit a request to both the local HOA and the Executive Committee of CCAC using forms available on the CCC webpage. 2. Generators should be installed at least 18” from your home. If it is not designed like an air conditioning unit to be permanently outdoors, it should be under an open canopy. It must also have architectural esthetic approval and be away from public view. 3. Generators must be placed on a surface where water cannot puddle around it.
