Troy-Bilt Generator review...and some thoughts on choosing the right back up generator for your home

What happens here

Acknowledging that generators can be very loud, the presenter recommends using a sufficiently long power cord to position the generator far enough away from the house to reduce noise disturbance. He visually displays the heavy-duty extension cord required to connect the generator to the house's power inlet, noting it plugs into the side of the breaker box. He suggests that either hiring an electrician for installation or a DIY approach is viable depending on skill level.

Goal: The speaker concludes by advising on optimal generator placement to mitigate noise and demonstrating the appropriate power cord for connection.

roll generator is very loud one thing I do recommend is that you get a long enough power cord to set your generator far enough away from the house that you don't have to hear that loud loud noise okay so this is our power cord want to show you that that's the last thing it's an extension cord that plugs into the side of the breaker box pretty easy pretty simple stuff guys you can hire an electrician to have it put in or you can do it yourself if you're a do-it-yourself or kind of guy so that's pretty much it for the Vlog today just
