Generator Information & Safety Disclaimer
Important limitations, safety requirements, and terms governing use of Brite Generators educational content.
Important Safety Warning
Generators, transfer equipment, electricity, natural gas, propane, gasoline, batteries, exhaust, and carbon monoxide can cause fire, explosion, electrocution, poisoning, serious injury, death, and property damage. Never operate a portable generator inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace, shed, or other enclosed or partly enclosed area. Follow the current manufacturer instructions and government safety guidance for outdoor placement, ventilation, carbon-monoxide alarms, connection, fueling, shutdown, and storage.
Educational Information Only
The Generator Knowledge Center is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not a substitute for an on-site evaluation or advice from a licensed electrician, qualified generator technician, fuel-gas professional, engineer, code official, fire official, utility, manufacturer, emergency responder, medical professional, insurer, or attorney. Reading an article, using a calculator, or contacting Brite Generators through this website does not by itself create a contractor-client, professional, fiduciary, or other special relationship.
No Site-Specific Recommendation
Generator sizing, placement, transfer design, conductor and overcurrent protection, fuel capacity, ventilation, grounding and bonding, permits, inspections, maintenance, and repair depend on the exact property, equipment, loads, utility service, jurisdiction, and current code requirements. Examples, estimates, ranges, diagrams, checklists, and product comparisons are not plans or instructions for a particular installation. Do not purchase, install, connect, operate, modify, troubleshoot, or service equipment solely from an article.
Use Qualified Professionals and Required Approvals
Work involving electrical systems, automatic transfer equipment, utility isolation, gas piping, propane systems, fuel storage, exhaust, structural work, or equipment commissioning should be performed and verified by appropriately qualified and licensed professionals as required by law. The property owner and contractor are responsible for identifying and obtaining applicable permits, inspections, utility approvals, manufacturer approvals, and authority-having-jurisdiction acceptance.
Accuracy, Availability, and Product Changes
Brite Generators makes reasonable efforts to publish useful information, but laws, codes, safety guidance, products, specifications, prices, promotions, warranties, fuel-consumption figures, software features, and availability can change. Content may contain errors, omissions, or information that is no longer current. Verify every material fact with the current manufacturer documentation and the qualified professionals and authorities responsible for the specific project.
No Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, website content is provided “as is” and “as available,” without representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, safety, performance, code compliance, or suitability for a particular property or use.
Assumption of Risk and Limitation of Liability
You are responsible for how you use or rely on this information and for obtaining appropriate professional review. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Brite Generators and its owners, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and content contributors disclaim responsibility and liability for loss, injury, death, property damage, equipment damage, business interruption, lost profits, or other damages arising from or related to the use, misuse, or reliance on website content. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Emergencies and Carbon Monoxide
If a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds, anyone experiences possible exposure symptoms, or there is fire, fuel leakage, electrical arcing, shock risk, or another immediate hazard, move to a safe location and contact 911 or the appropriate emergency service. Do not rely on this website for emergency diagnosis or instructions, and do not re-enter or restart equipment until emergency personnel or a qualified professional says it is safe.
Third-Party Information and Links
References to manufacturers, products, standards, agencies, or third-party websites are provided for identification and convenience. They do not guarantee availability, compatibility, approval, performance, or endorsement. Brite Generators does not control third-party content and is not responsible for its accuracy, security, availability, or terms.
Sales, Service, and Warranty Agreements
Website articles do not modify any proposal, scope of work, installation agreement, service agreement, limited warranty, manufacturer warranty, or other written contract. If article content conflicts with a signed agreement, approved plan, code requirement, authority decision, or current manufacturer instruction, the controlling document or requirement governs.
